Thanks for that input Baby Shark. As far as less contact patch due to a different offset on a wheel....nothing would be affected. Contact patch is affected by camber and tire size. The tires are 205 in the front and 225 in the rear and clear my fenders without rubbing. Putting the wheel farther from the hub due to offset should in no way affect ABS if my car were to be equipped with it but it is not. I was running Yokohama AVS ES 100's on a set of7/8inch dials, late offset with 225/245 respectively and then later switched to Cup I's. Looked like **** because as negative camber is increased for my auto-x needs, the top of the wheel moved farther from the fender. I had easy a 2 inch gap between my fender and the top of my tire (In, not up). I will take pictures at some point.
