How does everyone feel about off set trailing arms? Good, bad or indifferent? Do you need any special springs with them?
Thanks,
Madrider

Unless you are going to run real wide tires you are wasting the money. That's my opinion, but , your car build it your way that's what I did, we are the ones that have to be happy with it.
Wide tires and flarred fender's are always a cool look.

well I just installed some on my car. It gives me an extra two inches to play with. I am running size 10 wheel and im going to put 295 and flare the fender. Imo the fender flares give you a more balanced fit using wider wheels. Say you took a size 10 wheel and you offset was 4 inches and you had no trailing arms. first of all you would have to get that wheel custom made and second it would fit but it would be like you riding on the end of the wheel. The off set allows you to tuck two inches of wheel closer to the inside. now you can use a 5 inch off set and ride center of wheel or 4 1/2 and ride on a 295
