Question about this pattern w/ offset
Question about this pattern w/ offset
"These wheels are 5X114.3 bolt pattern with a 35 mm offset" I was looking to buy some wheels and this is what I found in the mist of searching, to my understanding shouldn't it be 5x114 bolt pattern and 40mm+ offset? Or would this setup actually work?

+35 wheels will stick out further than +40 wheels. Whether that is a problem or not depends on wheel widths, tire sizes, alignment, suspension parts, etc. We need more info to give you a more definite answer.
And the FD has no struts (it has a shock at each corner).

Several manufacturers make wheels in those sizes that actually fit (+40 to +45 offset).
In those sizes at +35 offset, you will definitely have to roll the fronts and probably the rears as well. Just choose some wheels that fit in the first place. Wheels with too low of an offset create other problems as well, such as altered suspension geometry and increased loading on the wheel bearings.

It will kill his fenders....... It will kill his tire sidewalls........ It might kill his hub bearings........ Hell, it might even kill him if he's cornering hard on them and a wheel comes off and he hits a tree or something......... LOL
