i believe the factory offset was 4 1/4 inches. > From: therichardsonfamily@xxxxxxxxxxx > > I'm thinking of putting 15" wheels on my "lesser" Chrysler (w/ an Imperial engine = required content), and I'm looking for offset / backspace advice.

The question is - what does the original engineering call for in the way of wheel offset? A wider tire should be OK, as long as the offset doesn't change. I would think a drastic offset (different than OEM) would effect the steering / bearing / axle torque and other characteristics. > > Any experience out there to share with regards to OEM "offset", and what to watch out for?
