I tried to find this information out of the Web and couldn’t find anything. Maybe someone has this info at their finger tips. My personal opinion, is that the zero mm offset offers a better distribution of downward force across the width of the tire, based on a more negative camber settings. But that's just my theory - I could be completely wrong.

The wheels that come with the WCE kit have a 2mm offset. The setup sheets shows a camber of 0.5. Based on my theory, if you leave it at 0.5 and don't have a coning problem, the 2mm offset would give you better downward force accross the tire than a zero offet wheel.

The ground truth and other theories would be greatly appreciated.
