What is hub offset?

Wheel offset is simply the distance between the wheel's hub-mounting surface and its center plane. Positive offset means the hub-mounting surface is closer to the wheel's outboard side. Conversely, negative offset means it's closer to the inboard side.

How much offset difference is OK?

If the new wheels are the same width, the new offset should ideally be within 5mm of the old offset in either direction. If offset must be substantially different, avoid using more positive offset at all costs. If the new wheels are wider, backspacing must be calculated.

Does higher offset stick out more?

A simple way to understand offset, is the lower the offset, the more the wheel will stick out, likewise, the higher the offset, the more the wheel will tuck in. For example, and Honda Civic generally uses around a +40mm offset.

How do you know what offset you need?

Subtract the smaller number from the larger number. That gives you the offset of the wheel. If the centerline number is smaller than the hub measurement, offset is positive.

Is negative offset bad for your truck?

If the offset is negative you will get more aggressive strain in return. It will help in increasing the steering wheel back with kick along with placing additional stress on the vehicle suspension. ... It will greatly affect the wheel rub which will damage the flange located in the inner part.

Is too much negative offset bad?

Too much negative offset (the wheel sits too far outwards from the car) can also contribute to poor handling due to additional stresses on the suspension components. The steering wheel can flick back in hard cornering causing unstable handling and a possible accident.

Is 10mm offset too much?

10mm isn't a huge amount. On some cars it makes little difference. Tough you say. But if you want exact fit...see if the dealer still make it right.

What is better negative or positive offset?

If your offset is too positive, you risk the inside of the tire hitting your suspension. To fix this, bring the offset down, so it's closer to zero. This moves the tire out. If your offset is too negative, then the outside of the tire will rub on the car's body and fenders.

What offset will fit my car?

Put simply, to find if your wheels will fit your car, measure the distance from your wheel's center point to where it is mounted. This is the offset. Add that to half your wheel's width to find the back space and subtract it to find the front space. Compare this to your wheel well to see if it fits.

What does 20mm offset mean?

A 20mm offset means the wheel face is more toward the outside of the vehicle than a 1mm offset.

What is a negative 18 offset on rims?

Negative offset is when the hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. A negative offset wheel usually has a "deep lip" Zero offset The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.

What does 50mm offset mean?

Typically expressed in millimeters, offset refers to the distance between the wheel's mounting hub and the center line of the wheel. ... So, if a wheel has an offset of 50mm, that means that the face where the wheel will bolt to the hub is 50 millimeters to the outer, curb side from the wheel's centerline.

What does offset payment mean?

The amount of my federal payment (e.g., income tax refund) has been reduced ("offset"). ... If an individual owes money to the federal government because of a delinquent debt, the Treasury Department can offset that individual's federal payment or withhold the entire amount to satisfy the debt.
