Thread: Wheel offset?

Have you all ready got the tyre's, if not consider going to a 16 inch rim, a 35 x15 has a very big side wall and has a lot of flex and the 16 will behave a little better. + is when the outside wall of the tyre moves closer to the CL of the vehicle and - is when the wall moves further away thus giving the car a wider wheel track. I run 16x8 with neg 25 offset. With a 12.5 inch wide tyre you will need that much offset. I used to run 15x8 neg 25 on my last car for the 33/12.5/15 and had slight rubbing on the rear spring perch
