    Just curious, wondering what the other wagon owners here are running for an offset on there wheels? and if they are dropped or not. I might be upgrading soon to some different wheels and i wanted to hear some opinions on what offset i should choose. Nasioc had mixed results, some rubbed and some didnt. So what does everyone got?

    not even on the rear at full compression? What year is your wagon, I want to run 225 in a 17 inch wheel and heard it wouldn't work on my 03'

    Your rear camber will have a small effect on if it's going to rub or not. Stock it is non-adjustable, but there is still a little play in the bolts that you can use when trying to get it not to rub. Or go with crash bolts and the problem is solved. :)

    I've done it both on my '06 and my old '04 wagon. No rubbing even at the rallycross I did in the '04.

    I also have rear camber bolts installed; rear camber was dialed in around -1* on each side in the rear.
