Thread: max wheel offset under std guards

Take a look here for info on wheel offsets.

I run 16x7 TX rims with a -4mm offset and 255x85 BFG MTs. If they stuck out a fraction more they'd be outside the arches.

In 16x8 form, the TXs are available with +3mm or +20mm offset

Hope that helps.

The Disco rims I have are off set to the max to fit under a Defender by Summerfields ....
16x7 30mm offset x4
with 34x10.5 Simex JT2s

The way I have measured it I can extend outwards with the tyre 25-30mm max from std boost alloys and still be under the guards.
That on an 8" rim would mean an offset of say +20mm instead of +33mm on the 7" rims.(13mm more offset and 1/2" more wheel width= approx 26mm more outside than std)

Anyone agree? But various people here in WA are saying that +30mm on an 8"
will fit under my guards... cant see how? But need to know.

Any advice greatly recieved.

Hi John,

So by my calculations your -4 offset 16x7's are 37mm further out than std?

So a +3mm offset 16x8 will absolutely be outside the guards.

So +20mm must be the one then.

Hi Sith.

So you know me... who are you?

Could be interested too.
