ok this topic is one that i've never understood, and i've been waiting for a chance to ask this.
lets say his rim is 7 inches wide. the offset is 42. so in order to mount the rim he uses a spacer. the rim is now lets say a zero offset including the spacer.
my queston:
what is the difference in the amount of stress on the hub if you put a rim that has a zero offset on the car, vs. the rim with a spacer that is now a zero offset?
both rims are zero offset NOW. so why does one put more stress on the hub than the other?
the rims are both let's say 1 inch away from the inside of the fender.
it's not like one rim is sticking out more than the other.
i'm trying to prove this argument wrong, or be proven wrong and learn something.
