Modular offsets

Sorry if this has been asked before :blush:

I'm planning on getting some new steel modulars, I do have a set of 16's on my LJ at present with 225x75x16 AT's for every day running which are fine.

I want to buy a new set of 15" modulars as a secondary set so i can put MT's on them, I'm planning on putting 235/245x75/80x15's on them.

Would one of you kind gents explain 'offset' to me please and who's the best supplier :blink:

I am running 32mm spacers on the 16's at the mo but they have zero offset i think? When I put the 15's on i'd like to remove the spacers but still push the wheels out to the arches.............so a high offset i presume, is this how it works? :blush:

Hope I have explained myself correctly,

Kind regards

Tony

Hi Tony,

I got my modulars from here > www.4x4tyres.com/alloy-wheels-for-suzuki-jimny-1998-to-2005

I dont really understand the offset measurement thing but i do know that with these rims the offset is on the outside of the rim and is about 1inch which means that the tyres align perfectly with the arches and there is no need for spacers. Here as some photos of them on my car:

i run diahatsu 15" rims offset is fine an i have 31" on them

Thank you very much guys :kiss:


Just so I dont look too much like a pr*tt i take it i need a high Negative offset to push my wheels out then.....................

I have 7 x 15 modulars, they look alot like adamskis ones, the offset on them is -7
