Upgrade from 156 to 161's

mreloc · 02-24-2006, 02:30 PM

Searched, but couldn't find the answer-
I have a non-sp with 156's. I am planning to buy the staggered 161's- will that cause any offset issues for the rear of my non-sp car or are the hubs the same configuration as an sp car to start with? (in other words non sp car with staggered 161's looks the same as sp car with the staggered 161's )?

You won't have any problems with them. The only difference is that visually your car will look slightly higher when sitting next to an SP car.

Thanks Voltron. My concern was really about offset differences between a non sp and an sp car in the rear, i.e., is there something different about the rear end drivetrain of an sp car (wheel hubs distance to fender) than a non sp car that will affect the way the staggerd wheels will look?

Absolutely nothing. In fact, there is no difference between a 325 and a 330 (SP and non-SP) offset.
