Why is trophy offset better than cup offset?

[boom]

I'm aware trophy turinis are et 45 where as cup turinis are approx et 38.

Why are the trophy turinis preferred? I thought people would go for a slightly wider track where possible tbh.

Good question tbh.

I always wonder why people will pay a premium for trophy turinis over cup turinis, probably because they think that because their from a trophy they will look good on their car, lol.

Cups have the better offset.

Even worse people buy the trophy ones then fit spacers?? Cup ones sit nicely

Because Cup alloys rub on cup packed 182 rear arches.

....sorry ignore this.....
(was going to say why the offset is different between the two cars).

The grN homologation states offset 38 and since the cup/ragnotti is considered the base model for the grN I would assume that this is the optimal.

What's the standard offset on cup packed 182 wheels then?

Cup ones are better with the extra offset.

172 cup wheels are fine in my 182 cup with no catching issues..

Looks like I may have been wrong. I swear someone said they rubbed though!

It depends how low you go at the rear. If too low they do catch the bumper mate. 100%.
