+41mm offset on 12' wide wheel?
Looking at a set of Cray wheels, the Brickyard series in black, very similar to the stock 5 spokes, but available in 19" and 20".
Anyway, they advertise a +41mm offset for the rears on a 12" wide wheel, i contacted a dealer about this who contacted Cray, and they said it would work fine.
Well my current setup is a 12" rear with a 51mm offset, and they are flush with the fenders, so i don't know how a 41 offset could work, it would stick out another 9mm…
Anyone running with a 41mm offset on a 12" rim? does it work?
Cheers

yes it works. I have 325 Nitto Invos on the rear and the side wall might protrude a coupl mms, but all in all it looks real good.
The issue is the front offset of the brickyards is too high and the wheels will be recessed in comparison to the rear. A 10mm spacer on the front should do the trick though.

The factory is like 58 mm
So I do not know how a 41 mm is going work or look OK. You are basically pushing the rim out almost 3/4 of an inch from factory. If you have 51 mm now just add another 10 mm of washers underneath and you will see what it looks like.

Ah no
What I meant was the 58 mm is factory, 41 mm is a 17 mm difference which is the 3/4 of an inch I was talking about. The 10 mm is correct from his existing set up so add 3/8th of an inch of washers and see. With the wheel sticking that far out he will have to be concerned about wheel rub too.

19mm is 3/4"
