So I picked up a set of Style 42's with brand new Kumho Ecsta AST 225/50/R16 tires. They look like this:
The offset on these wheels is 46mm and the size is 7x16".
When I turn full lock to the right
and the suspension is on the right is unloaded somewhat (typical of a hard right turn) the tire rubs against the chassis on the right inner side. It doesn't do this when turning left.
So I have a couple of questions:
What is the correct offset for the 16x7 wheels that came with the sport package?
If the steering rack is off center due to the tie rods being unequal length, is it possible to mask such a setup by removing and reinstalling the steering wheel at the center position (i.e. is the steering shaft keyed to prevent off center installation or is it a simple spline)?
