could someone help explain rim sizing and offset

hardwhiteZ · 08-05-2013, 10:25 PM

so ive never bought rims before but i want to now and i would like it if someone could explain to me the offset and when to use spacers. i would like to have the rears have an incurve on the outside and i have a new set of tires on the sport 19" and i would like to keep the same tires and just switch them to the new rims.

I think you mean concave.

Concave goodness

Lower offset will push the wheel out. These are 10.5" wide with +15 offset

19x9.5 +22, 19x10.5 +12.

Go with a proven setup that looks good and isn't too hard to pull off. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Find a look you like and steal their wheel sizing LOL.
