Why A Smaller Wheel Offset Means
The Wheel Stick Out
Further
| The pic on the
left below shows what the offset is: it is the distance between
the wheel's center line and the wheel's mounting surface.
The pic on the right below illutrates why, given the same wheel width, a wheel with smaller positive offset will sit further out. For a more thorough explanation on offsets, see The Tire Rack's Wheel Tech pages. | |
