I have a 99 VX on 16’s and no lift at the moment, but will crank up the front 2” and do the same lift on the rear. Will only be used on the street and very mild off road.
Thanks
As far as I understand it, "offset" is the position of the mounting point of the wheel. If you find a wheel with a 0 (zero) offset, then the center of the wheel will be right in the middle. My wheels are a 0 offset. Back-spacing is the amount of space behind the mounting point. Backspacing can come into play with the look as well as clearance for calipers and such.
