Good Morning, Everyone:


I'm seriously considering purchasing a set of VOXX MG-3 wheels, 16x7, +20 offset. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelDetail.do?pc=23578&wd=16&rw=7.

I have a couple of questions regarding this fitment:

1) will it place extra stress on my wheel bearings? I've been told that low-offset wheels do this.

2) will I rub if I choose to go up a size in tires? Once the junk tires wear out, I might go with a 215/75/16 or a 225/70.

3) Is this a good offset? Anyone have pics of this?

Thank you very much for your help.

Why do you want to put on a +20 offset??
Are you going for a certain look??

Here are some quick answers without knowing what you want to do.

1) Yes, a little.
2) Yes for sure.
3) Can not answer without knowing what you are thinking.

Just an FYI, they make the same exact rim in a +38 offset. This rim
will be an almost perfect fit for the E, and you will not have any
problems at all with it.
