First you’ll have to understand what wheel offset is, Honda Tuning did a great article explaining wheel offset, please check it out here<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s how to find out what offset you have on your wheel.<\/p>\n

(Non mounted wheel\u00a0preferred)<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0 First of all, you need few straight-edge rulers, in this case, we used 1 ft. and 3 ft long. \u00a0 \u00a0Then measure from edge to edge to get the overall width of the wheel. \u00a0Noted that we used ruler with millimeter indicators. \u00a0 The number we got is 260 mm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

with a standard tape measure, we got \u00a0about 10 1\/4 inch.<\/p>\n

To convert 10 1\/4 to mm, 10.25 x 25.4 = 260.35, \u00a0let’s round it down to 260.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0 Face down the wheel on a flat floor, make sure nothing would scratch the face or lip of the wheel. \u00a0 Lay a long\u00a0straight\u00a0edge ruler across, I made sure that is perfectly straight line, so when I put a second ruler down to the hub surface of the wheel, I could get a precise number. \u00a0And the number is 171 mm. \u00a0The result is also known as Back Spacing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Here come the calculation part, \u00a0take the first number and divide it by 2, as it will give you where Zero offset is located. \u00a0 260 \/ 2 = 130 mm<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Now subtract 130 from the Back Spacing number (171)<\/p>\n

171-130 = 41<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0The correct offset of this wheel is 41 mm<\/p>\n
