hmm... ok, so here's my stupid question... what's the difference between the early and late offset wheel. I understand that the offest is the relationship between the centerline of the tire and the hub surface, but in layman's terms, what is the difference? Since I have an "early offset" wheel on a car designed for a "late offset" wheel, does that mean my tires are sticking out too far, or not enough? If it's sticking out too far, then that shouldn't contribute to rubbing, should it? It should only help, right, since the tires are further away from the car?
