Wider than, or significantly wider than stock offset numbers, results in unfavorable suspension geometry that puts extra and unnecessary stress on the suspension components that leads to premature wear.
thanks for the clarification, HACK!

help me out though, if track guys aren't using the aggressive offsets, why are these guys...

... all using wheel and tire combos that push the limit? is it that they want both function and looks? why do places like Turner sell suspension and brake upgrades that do not work with factory wheel specs? i am NOT trying to start anything, I just like to know so I don't give out bad info.
