Changing the offset number is not the same as changing the offset, in fact changing the width of a rim would require the same offset.

To maintain the same offset (like I recomended) you need a different offset number.

Frick I hope I'm right on this, LoL
Sorry, wrong again.

I'm not trying to be a smart mouth, but you quoting me and saying "you know I'm going to F up stuff" based on my correct advice made you look like a smart mouth who hadn't done the research to back it up.

And the offset and offset number are the same thing.
It's not offset # + wheel width = offset, as you're saying.
Offset is the distance from the hub mounting point to the center of the wheel.

I understand where you're coming from in terms of keeping things in line with the wheel setup, but you're advice and explanations are off.
