"It will increase track by 10mm on each side, which means that if you run the same amount of camber before and after installing the s14 FLCAs then you will have the same wheel fitment as a car with a 10mm lower offset and stock FLCAS. As far as actual wheel clearance is concerned, it will not be affected.

So it does not directly change the offset, but it will make the wheels fit the body of the car as if they were a lower offset."

This is not accurate. Since you're only moving the lower point, and not the upper point (top hat) you are in fact increasing camber AND track width.

Functionally, yeah you're probably safe just ballparking 8-10mm less clearance on your fitment, but technically it's not the same as just switching to a wheel with 10mm lower offset.

Splitting hairs.
