    Call me stupid but Im going to ask again

    Hi Guys,
    Ive already asked the question about which offset rims to use to suit 33 inch Silverstone tyres on 16 inch rims (SIMEX COPIES) and the reply was -25 .

    My problem is that I have found 2 websites that say different things,
    The first says that a 1994 disco has a standard offset of -30 and the other says + 30

    Using a offset calculator if -30 is true then -25 will not solve my problem can anyone reassure me that these tyres will fit with a 2 inch suspension lift and cutting the guards.

    Also does anyone know a good place to buy dynamic rims from in Melbourne, the best price I have found is $120 each


    Thanks for your help

    You're stupid.

    Now that I've obeyed your thread title, I would say that you should be fine with the -25 offset... I am not however, suitably qualified to say for certain, I'll leave that up to those more knowledgable.

    Not much help, am I??

    Why not make a trip (or even give them a call) to LRA?? I'm not affiliated with them at all, but I know they sell offset rims there, and I'd say they've probably dealt with the issue before.

    The offset is stamped on the Disco rims. Go and look at them.

    It is +33mm.

    Disco one rims are +33mm offset. Going to -25 will result in a movement of 58mm making your track 116 mm wider.

    Just make sure that the -25 is either absolute or relative. Relative will result in a movement of -25mm resulting in a +8mm offset, this will result in a 50mm wider track.

    Ok your stupid but so am I, as I am trying to get this sorted out in my head so I dont bugger up.

    do we need to get wheels that have had a -25mm off set done to them from standard setting or do we get them set to -25mm off set?

    from what I am reading here it is 2 completely different things?

    I believe the dynamica rims with -25 offset are the go (not sure if these are absolute or relative). I think these are what Boxer used and are what I will be chasing down as soon as I get some coin. $140ea here in the west.

    A quick search makes me think absolute is the go:

    Not the one I posted in the link above:


    To be honest I had never heard of relative offset. My only understanding is what is shown in the picture above, that is offset is always measured from the center of the rim.
