Wheels: Working out offset

[Simon]

fyi, bogriders diagram is straight up wrong in atleast 4 ways







yep ur inner lip will move in 6mm, and outer lip will site 32mm further out


with a 5mm spacer, you will have a theoretical offset of 18x8.5 +37...so from your current specs.. the new wheels + spacer would sit 1mm further in, and the sit 37mm further out

thats what i thought, it can be confusing trying to work it out.
needed clarity on that!

i know the rims will rit with a full guard roll and the natural camber at my ride height.

mitchy: yeah been trolling that website lol

How do spacers work exactly? Do you put them on behind the rim and they just push your wheel out further?

In terms of effecting your offset the size of the spacer will lower your offset by its width. ie 5mm spacer will lower the offset by 5mm. So if you have a rim that is 18x9 +30 and ran a 5mm spacer it will effectively make it an 18x9 +25.
