    well stock is +52 i think so you will be better than stock with 42. yeah 35 or 38 would be better but hard to tell....may i ask what rims you are lookin at getting?

    well if you lower your car you may run into problems if you go with a lower offset like i have....Im not a fan of lowering your car because it makes your cars suspension wear out faster

    ^Is a very good read

    And I have been talking to fellow site members about what my plans are (Not to go super low where I could just bag it)
    Just looking for an extra little bit of stance

    I've got everything pretty well looked after

    What are you looking to run with the suspension?

    And you won't have poke with a +42 offset. I had 7.5"+12 in the back and they weren't poking, now I'm running a 8.25"+25 wheel and it sits out a little more, nice and flush in the back and they stick out a little up front, time to run a little more camber in the front.

    Keep in mind if you do go low with some decent offset you will have to do some work to the fenders to keep from rubbing. That +42 offset will not give you any rubbing issues ever.
