Hello there,

By tracking do you mean castor/camber/toe in? I doubt that will change if it is all correct to begin with. The only issue you might have is the offset, if too shallow it will rub on the inner gaurds, if too deep you need huge flares...

if you already have an alignment problem, wide offset wheels will be affected worse than standard offset wheels. If your front and ear alignment is OK now, then you'll be right. Might be a good time to have the alignment checked anyway.

in Australia, use the word 'alignment' instead of 'tracking', it's the same thing ;)

I hope the weather is nice over there in UK - listening everyone?

I got 10x6 Minators from Minisport in SA. They look awesome. They are availabe in th UK from Minispares I believe.

BRB, gonna measure the dish (distance from inner face of the wheels to the outside face)......

Hmm about 2 inchs, not really a deep dish wheel when looking at them. Sure are sexy though. They do make a 10x5 verison but 10x5 sucks, to ostock style. Go 10x6, they look bigger and fatter even though the tyre size of 10x5 and 10x6 are the same.
