A quick guide to understanding Rim Offset / wheel offset for those of you buying some new rims for your cars, as the wrong offset can make a set of rims either not fit at all, or just not give you the right look wink.gif Its all pretty simple, and the pic should be a huge help biggrin.gif



...and...



The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. The offset can be one of three types.

ZERO OFFSET

The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.

POSITIVE OFFSET

The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.

NEGATIVE OFFSET

The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically a negative offset.

Something that is also very useful is the offset calculator. Give you a measurement of the difference between your current wheels and your new rims. Will help you work out if those new rims will fit - clicky

the offset guide link is dead, and that calculator asks for a username and password.

anyone have newer links and/or details for these resources?
