Offset is not how wide the wheel is, but how far it hangs over the hub, if u see wot I mean! <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/biggrin.gif">

Offset is the distance from the exact centre of the wheel to the inside face of the hub - spacers will decrease offset (I think), while machining the hub face down will inrcease offset.<br><br>Usually measured in mm, try to keep them as close a possible to avoid funny handling, at least at the front.
