1st Post - Offset and Backspacing questions
I have a 2006 Lincoln Navigator (4WD) and I recently picked up a set of those dirt cheap 23" Saleen wheels that have been floating around for sale here and on E-Bay. I realized soon after my purchase that the wheels have different offsets. Does anyone know if the different offsets will pose a problem with my truck? I assume my OEM 18" wheels are all the same offset. Is there anything I need to worry about except that fact that I cannot rotate my tires if I mount the new wheels? My understanding is the wheels are offset 44MM in the rear and 30MM in the front.
I just want to make sure I won't have any drivability issues before I buy tires to fit the Saleen wheels. If it looks like the staggered offsets are going to cause me a problem I'll probably offer them for sale back on E-Bay.
I called Saleen with the same question. They were not much help.
Thank you in advance for any help!

No, you won't have any drivability issues at all. My only concern is will they fit in the wheel well ok. Not sure how tall the tire will be.
