I notice that the back wheels of my sub are narrower than the front
would'nt it be possible to get the right off set to compensate ? lets
say rather than a 4" back space on an oem wheel something like a
2" off set or no off set Has anyone ever figure it out?

Are the rims the stock truck rallies? There were two sizes of stock rallies. I think they were 6 and 8 inch wide.

It's narrower to improve handling. Why mess with it if it's just going to look "better" and not drive as well?
