Rim offset

Post by terrano »

Im needing some lower offset rims as ive noticed with my 35s they are just rubbing on the inside of the wheel arch. From what i can work out they are 15x8 with about +11 or 12 offset.
I know the 'cool' thing to do is chuck a set of 15x10 -100 offset for that super stanced look, but im not after that i wont function over form. How low can i go before the truck starts tracking all over the road? I want to stay with 15x8 as the tyres sits nice on them and can drop the pressures nice and low when needed and not worry too much about them popping a bead.

its positive or negative offset

and a set of standard safari rims should do it. -16 from memory, but check you dont start getting rub on the rear of the front wheel arch/firewall area

I had the centre's of my steelies moved to the exact offset I was after because there was only 2 offset options in 16 inch if I brought a new set.
