Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

About 4 months ago, there was a LONG thread about these wheels (I'm 95% certain it was about these wheels) and the offsets. The rear offset you mentioned will cause the wheels/tires to extend past the outer edge of the rear fender. In the thread I mentioned, a couple of guys were changing to narrower tires and/or increasing the negative camber to try to "fix" the problem with the wheels extending past the fender well. A couple of guys even posted some pics before anf after the "fix." I'll try to find the thread and post it back here. OK, I found the thread (76 posts with pics). It would be worth your time to read the entire thread, because it may save you from making a costly mistake. BYW, the "Tim" that is referenced in the thread is not me, it is Tim Wasmer, another Rennlist member. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/256724-upgraded-to-19-s-thanks-tim-question-though.html
