I’m going through this experiment myself. I have some et20 (+20mm offset wheels) in a car that had 45mm offset wheels from the factory. Meaning the wheel center is 25mm further out than stock. However, the new wheel is also wider, so is not all on one side.
The steering is definitely different, especially because I also have tires that are 3 inches wider than the factory ones. The car is harder to keep straight if the ground is uneven because it wants to pull in all sorts of directions. I also don’t like how at full lock the outer wheel drags on the ground.
But at this width the closest I can get is an offset of +35mm, any higher and the wheel touches the control arm, and at 40 it would probably hit the springs.
Talking to some track guys seems like they are still faster with a wider track than with lower scrub and told me to not worry about it, but I still have my concerns.
