But yes, the offset is significantly different and has pushed the centerline of the tire away from the stock location. We'll see how the rear bearings do.
Sticky wider tires with stiffer sidewalls are also a contributor. Want a nice smooth ride with no wander, get the crapiest M&S 175s you can, and they will fell great until you turn, brake, etc...

P.S. Nice wheels..... Copycat...
