Changing the offset changes the relationship between the mounting surface and the centreline of the wheel. A more positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is further from the centre of the vehicle.

:oops: my bad lol....was thinking of something else lol....and i think you have other issues like hitting the shock before a more positive offset reduces the track of the car :lol:

You are right there, Too much positive offset and the tyres hit the shocks.

At full extension a 17 x7 with a +40 offset will hit the shock badly. So maximum offset with 17 x 7 would be about +35 and +30 or +32 would be better but getting these offsets would be difficult without custom offset I am guessing.
