[slidenastyjosh]

ok jus need help. i read were a guy is buying some wheels from a friend. he said something about offset. i dont understand the whole offset thing. im kinda new to the whole wheel and offset thing. ive always had stock se wheels till now.

Basically, if the hub of the wheel is exactly in the center of the wheel width, the wheel has a zero offset. Move the hub towards the outer edge of the wheel, the higher mm offset it will have (i.e. front wheel drive crappy ricer wheels are usually like +40mm offset. On the other hand, move the hub back towards the inner edge of the wheel, will give you a negative offset. Sweet a** deep dish/fat lipped wheels have a negative offset....Then there's the fitment issue......

Scroll all the way to the bottom right of the forum homepage, and reference the wheel and tire section. Tons of info.....
