    Having some problems flexing with these SCS F5s with -25 offset and 285/75/16.
    3” lift and CMC all the way back to the bushing still isn’t clearing at full lock/compression.
    So, I have a bright idea.
    Maybe I’ll run -12 offset on the front and leave the -25 offset on the rears.
    Anyone else doing this? Show me your setup.

    If you are going to run different wheels on the front than the rear , there may be a problem with rotations and also when using the spare ? Unless you are doing it with spacers .

    God I’m dumb. Didn’t even consider that.
    Ok so that’s out. Thanks

    Not dumb ! Using different wheels on muscle cars front to rear was and is very common. They just looked stupid for a short time if one had a flat and put on a spare . I agree though for an off roading truck it would be a hassle and could ruin a trip .

    That’s exactly where I got the idea. My dads 69 javelin was set up like that back in the day.

    I dont know if bringing your tire closer in to your suspension/frame/body would help. I kinda feel like you might make thing worse

    How much more space do you need? If you go to -12 offset you’re bringing those wheels in about a half an inch. You can always play around with wheel spacers. Just make sure they’re gun centric spacers.

    I think -12 will be the only way, but I’d sure like to work around it because I love the dish my current ones have.
    I just want ALL the cake to eat.

    I dont know much about alignment, any thoughts on if I can have someone push the castor more forward to help? Currently it’s at 2.9 left and 3.5 right.

    I haven’t played with alignment at all but I do know that people have gone with aftermarket control arms to adjust for this reason.
