Some questions about aftermarket rims.

[blackzroadster]

Hi i saw the sticky post above, and I dont really understand the offset part. Im a noob at this, and in the middle of getting new replacement wheels for my flaking OEM 20" chromes.

I found a same size wheel from Konig called Lace, i want to get a 20x10 so there is more lip to the wheel. Would i go with a 40 or 25 offset ? will this affect how my tires wear out compared to a 20x8 size?

Thanks for any help or input, btw shopping for wheels is very hard, there are so many out there that fit the car.

i think you will be safe with both offsets. I'll probably choose +25 just because it will be more flush with the fenders.

I'm running 20x9.5 with +38 offset. wheels still looked tucked in by a lot... I should've gotten +25

Heres some info on offsets -

The offset of a wheel is what locates the tire and wheel assembly in relation to the suspension. More specifically, it is the measured distance between the hub mounting surface and the center line of the rim. Below is an explanation of the various types of offsets which are pictured in the above graphic.

Positive Offset
A positive offset occurs when the hub mounting surface is on the street side (the side you see) of the center line of the rim. Most factory rims will have this type of offset.

Zero Offset
When the hub mounting surface is centered within the rim, it is known as a zero offset.

Negative Offset
If the hub mounting surface is on the brake side of the center line of the rim, it is considered a negative offset or “deep dish”.View attachment 167889View attachment 167889View attachment 167892Note that extensive negative offset can potentially cause increased steering wheel kick-back and place additional stresses on the vehicle's entire suspension.
