Someone Explain wheel offset

[Mr.Tao]

I want rims to stick out a bit more. High offset or low?

 

[remmargorp]

It's more or less referred to as positive and negative offest. The larger the offset in millimeters the more it will come into the wheel well.


Wheel Offsets Explained

 

[GOTNOS]

Well probably for what you want to know. Most standard wheels if you were to order would probably be 40 offset. The smaller the number the more they will stick out. It is measured in mm. so 10mm is about 1/2". So if your installing 35 offset on stock car make sure you have no rubbing in the wheel wells.
