Title: Wheel Advice Needed
Post by: Baron Von Spongebob on 27 April 2007, 00:17:09

Ok any experts on wheel sizes can offer some advice.

I am looking at buying some new wheels for one of the cars but the offset is slightly different, would it be okay.  :-/

OLD WHEELS

PCD                     108
OFFSET                15...22
CENTRE BORE       65

NEW WHEELS

PCD                     108
OFFSET                 25
CENTRE BORE       65

Anserws on a postcard please, as they say.   :y

i mate im no expert but do enjoy making wheels that shouldn't fit , fit!

i would say as long as the width of wheel and tyre doesn't increase by loads and i meanloads i wouldn't worry about it!!!! just stick them on.

the offsett normally changes to adapt to new wheel width / shape to keep it in best place in car or on car...... so unless you totally change things no need to worry...... :y

your only talking 3mm max so that nothing!!!!!!!

and to give you an idea that im not just saying things ..... i own a e39 bmw estate.... who BMW there selves said 9in rears max 8 in fronts........... i turned up with 10x19 rears and 9x19 fronts....... and not a arch roller in sight!!!! so i went from a 225/65/16 to a 275/30/19!!!!!!  dont get me wrong i have paper thin clearance BUT still paper thin and there is still a clearance!!!! ;D
