What wheel and offset is best? My car came with 10" reg. 5 on 4 3/4. 2" and 3" offset. And mix-match of used tires. If anybody has any ( FREE OR CHEAP) good used tires or wheels in there way let me know. I will come get them.

well the main thing about offset is two first put your wheels and tires on and see which wheel sticks out the furthest and start from there try to get all your wheels tracking the other, as close as you can no matter the offset! if u have to run the long studs in the wheel plates and use spacers but until you get the wheels tracing you will have an unbalanced race car. but one rule of thumb is to never stick the right rear way out! we run 2 inch offset all the way around and it works great
