Rear axle offset

rrc · 11/20/12, 2:53 PM

I'm in process of building up an older vintage type sprint car. I have two rears, one that is 1" offset and the second rear is 2"offset. What do I need to consider when choosing which one to use? thanks, RC

JMHO, but I'd go with the 1" off. Bob

I always appreciate your advise Bob! What offset are most sprinters using today?

I doubt you'll find many using anything over a 2 off, I just feel it makes them turn easier, and it gives you more adjustment for left side bite, without needing a lot of extra wheels. I'm sure others feel differntly, but we all have our preferences. Now pavement is a different story, but for dirt, I'd use the 1 off. Bob
