Default Guys with deep dish front and back????

Hi Fellas,

Ive noticed quite a few cars on here with the deep dish look front and back. How do they do this? Same rim used in the rear just on the front? If so does that mean even meatier tires up front?

Thanks for your time,

Erik

Depends on the wheel. If you curve the spokes in, you get a bigger lip or if you get a 3piece wheel. You can run a 315 on a 17 up front with mods, but unless your road race or auto-x no reason to. Max I would say is a 285 front.

It has more to do with wheel design than anything...

NO!

It has to all do with the wheel Offset, in general all those Imports" and Euro cars with the Deep dish wheels are running very low offsets.....

17mm,15mm.....Hell ive even seen 0 offset rims etc

Im going with the 36mm ZR1s in the rear with the 50mm up front..

I don't think an emphatic NO is the right answer either. If you look really closely at my wheels (that fit just the same as my ZR1s), they really curve the spokes back in to achieve a lip.
