So if you used rims that have a smaller offset it'll push the edge of the rim outwards? Which would counteract the narrower rim. The offset is in mm, so 13.5mm difference would push the wheel out 13.5mm but the 1 inch narrower rim would pull it back in by 1/2 an inch, so it would look almost the same?
I could have that totally wrong though, I never seem to properly understand offset. |
Okay, crap. So I'm looking at some rims that are 8" wide with a +34.5mm offset. That would mean I'm 1/2" in from the fender on the rims +1.35" further in because of the offset. So I'm sucking the wheels in almost 2" inside the fenders on the front and even more on the back because the OEM wheels are 9.5 wide on the back. Man, that'll look dumb.
