Default Re: Wheel offset question. I did try a search first

I am still confused though (no comments please). Anyway, what I am getting out of this is that the higher the offset, the more the wheel will tuck inside the wheel-well. In other words, if you have a 30mm offset it is going to stick out more than one with a 35mm offset.?.? Thanks.

You may want to post this in the wheel and tire forum... they are better experts.

Default All other things being equal, that's correct...

Here's a link to a good wheel offset calculator. Play around with it and you'll get the idea.

FYI, our sport package wheels are 17x7.5", 45mm offset.
