The the distance from the centre of the wheel to the bolt face. the offset for the Fiesta, as with most Fords is 35mm (ET35). It is important to have the correct offset of wheels to prevent the wheel or tyre catching the arch, or unwelcome handling characteristics such as tramlining. It is possible to decrease offset, but not increase it. Decreasing is done by fitting spacers. For example a wheel with an offset of 38mm can be decreased to the correct 35mm by fitting 3mm spacers. See Wheels for more information.
