Just throw some stock 15 inch crows feet up front and some regular 15 bus rears with some low pro tire and you are set.

I thought that was a myth that was tested and proven wrong. Isn't the difference in Crow/ non Crow only a 1/16 or something? Looking for the same answers as the author of this thread. Time to go check out the wheel stash perhaps |

Just the opposite of what I've been told. 5/58 crowfoot 10.18 centimeter offset, 12/59 non-crowfoot 10.2 centimeter offset. |

I've posted this several times in other threads, but there is a negligible difference in offset between crow's foot and standard rims. The most I have found is about 3/32". Usually its less than 1/16".
