Default wheel offset

What is the wheel offset for a 94 LT-1 8.5 front 9.5 rear ? If I replace the wheels with ones with a different offset what will the effects be ?

56mm. this info is summarized in the Tech FAQ.

improper offset can lead to premature bearing failure and tire rubbing.

But if you are within a couple MM it won't matter much.

Depends which way you change the offset.

More offset and you risk rubbing on suspension ;
less and tyre will hang out assuming the same width rim used.
