RS America Track Wheel Offsets?
Hi everyone.
I drive a 1993 RS America that is set up well for track use. I am about to order a set of Fikses for my car to run Hoosiers on for the track. Was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on the correct offsets that would work the best?
I'll be running 245/40 R17's up front and 275/40 R17's at the rear. All my fenders have been professionally rolled. I am looking to run them on 8.5x17" front wheels and 10x17" rear wheels. Any offset recommendations?
I was thinking 51mm offset for both front and rear?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Maybe for front but not for rears. To run 275s, you'll need to be around et45mm. I was running 47mm in the rears and had to put 1.5mm shims to clear oil line.
