[s-cars] wheel offset and tire width

[brian bilotti]

Forrest,

The max you can run with a 32 ET is a 235 40 18.
I run a 255 35 15 w/ an 18 x8 et 35. The 32 just puts
it out too far for anything bigger than a 235. BTDT.
I don't know if there is a 235 35 18 but then you're
messing with circumference issues IMHO.
