How Much Offset is Changed With Tien Type Flex?

[CharlieHustle]

Hi, guys I was looking at some Tien Type Flex coilovers and I was wondering how much will the off be affected if any. Plus do you guys recommend anything else I should get for suspension. I already have front and rear strut towers. Thanks for the help

What do you mean by offset? Are you talking about wheel offset or do you mean camber/caster/toe? Also a good alignment would be a recommendation after a change like that.

Oh sorry I ment the tire offset because I herd that some coilovers sit differently and that might affect how much they stick out or stick in and since I want wider wheels because I got fender flares. So I figured I'd ask you guys if I should get coilovers first or rims or if it even matters. Thanks

The offset on your wheels wont change, so they wont stick out any further from the center of the wheel, but your wheels may appear to have a "crippled" look, where they point in or out because of camber/caster/toe when you lower it.
You're more than likely going to want a camber kit so you don't wear your tires out prematurely. With the camber kit, your wheels won't stick in or out any further than they do now. Absolutely get an alignment after you do any suspension mods.

I think what he means to ask is will the Teins allow for a lower offset/wider wheel than the stock shocks/springs.
