The hub offset effects the where the wheel sits inside the wheel well.

Kinda makes sense but I am still having a hard time imagineing it, I will check it more when I get home.

I am just thinking if the z3m trailing arms are basically same dimentions as the ti (what I ment by length) with larger bearings/calipers/rotors and braced, how would that effect the offset of the wheel?

Oh wait... you mean the hub that is attached to the trailing arm sits out further thus lowering offset?
