Dumb question time.

With offset TA do the wheels stay in the factory location? I know the double offsets are moved inward somewhat. Reason I ask is that I need to buy new TA anyway, so as long as my stock 79 alum wheels remain in the same physical location I thought I'd install Van Steel's offsets.

Regular offset TAs will keep the wheels in the stock location. You will be able to use your stock wheels with no problem.
I'm pretty sure Van Steel will confirm...
