[quote][i]Originally posted by Mistamist[/i] OFFSET The offset of a wheel is the measurement the wheel is offset from the centre line of the overall width of the wheel. A wheel which sits further under the wheel arch with a small outer rim is normally a negative offset as per Diagram A, and shown as 'ET' offset. A wheel which sits further out with either a larger or small outer rim and a large block which takes the hub mounting face beyond the centre line is normally a positive offset and shown as an 'ET' offset. An example - MO 6x15 (MO1560 ET49) has a negative offset and has a flat outer rim and the MS (MS1380 ET-06) has a positive offset with a dished front face and a large outer rim. To work out the offset the wheel must be measured accurately using the following steps and using Diagram A Measure the overall width of the wheel - (ii) Measure the T dimension, which is the measurement from the back of the bolt up face to the outside of the inner rim - (i) Divide the overall width by two which gives you the centre line. Minus the T dimension from the centre line. A negative answer the wheel would be ET. A positive answer the wheel would be ET. An example - AT (AT1355) with an offset of ET35 has an overall width of 159.7mm. Therefore the centreline would be 79.85mm and the T dimension should be 114.85mm. So 114.85 - 79.85 = 35mm. :thumbs::D [/quote]
