This is the most basic measurement on a wheel.
Simply, wheel diameter is the height of the wheel.
Late Model vehicles don’t generally see smaller than 14? and can go as high as 20? from the factory.
Aftermarket wheels generally are going to be larger in diameter than their factory counterparts.
Offset alone is useless.
The combination of wheel diameter, wheel width, offset and disk/face is needed to know fitment.
Offset is the distance between the centerline of the wheel and the hub mounting face.
This distance dictates the wheel’s placement within the wheel well. Offsets are described in three different ways, Positive, Zero and Negative.
I am t3h_Clap
Hopefully t3h wheel33tist in me will subside long enough for me to create a few unbiased tech articles.
I’ve got a laundry list of articles that I will be compiling here for the masses.
The coming weeks I will start rolling them out, stay tuned.
If there – are any specific questions on fitment or availability don’t hesitate to shoot me an email.
