24mm or 40mm offset?
I'm going to be getting the American Racing Razor wheels, but not sure what offset to go with. The tires will be 255/35 and the wheels will be 20/9 and I can either get them in 24mm or 40mm offset. I heard with the 24mm offset the tires will stick out about 1/4" past the fenders. Anyone knowhow the40mm offset wheels would sit? I remember reading the 40mm offset would be better if your planning on lowering the car, which I will be doing. But then I've seen lowered cars with 24mm offset. So I'm confused

Lots of pics here:

Both cars have 20x9 24mm offset Razors with 275-35 tires all the way around.
BTW, your car is awesome, Paleoc. I followed that build progress thread in the other forum and came really close to going that route a bunch of times.

Hmmm maybe its just me but see how the left rear wheel/tire sticks out farther from the wheel well.It just doesn't look right (kinda like the axles are walking out)to me or balanced where I think a 40mm would bring the wheel/tire in more under the wheel well, whichwould look better imo its just my opinion and what I would go with.

Thanks for all the pics! They look good to me
I'd still like to see what the 40mm offset would look like before I make a choice. I'm liking those 275's all around. Hmm... more decisions[:@] What's everyones take on the wider tires in the front? I want to stick with the same all around so I can rotate and was originally going to go with the 255's, but I dunno now.
