Question about wheel offset
I did a search, but could not find an answer.
What problems would there be if I run a 18x9 +23 all around? I remember reading something about understeer/traction problems, something along those lines, but I want to be sure before I make a purchase if there will be major cons about it. Thanks in advance.

8.5 front
9.5 rear

offset and wheel width are 2 different things...

I ran this setup on our local racetrack a few weeks ago and it performed brilliantly. I also have Hotchkiss sways, and this combination cured the Z's stock understeer.
Go for it!
