Rim question, What does 40 Offset mean?
Rim question, What does 40 Offset mean?
Hey guys the rims I am looking at are 17" ADR, 40 OFF SET 8 HOLES UNIVERSAL 8X100/114.3 So I know they will fit, but will they stick out from the sides of the fenders, and what size tires can I run on these?Thanks

17x? by 40
I run 18x10 by 40 offset in back... Mine are so wide I had to add a 10mm spacer so the wheel would not hit the shocks anymore. (to much camber)
40 offset is the stock offset.

the offset is the distance in millimeters of the hub on the wheel from the centerline.
a 7in wide wheel (178mm) has the centerline at 89mm - then +40mm puts the back of your hub at +49mm. that's 2 inches. In theory, thats 2 inches of lip, but it all depends on the hub design of the wheel and all that. More than likely, it will look like *** and not sit flush on any 240 unless its a 9"+ wide wheel

Wheel Offset, Rear Spacing and Wheel Measurement
Rear spacing (or backspacing) is the distance between the wheel's inboard edge and its mounting pad. It can be measured by using a ruler and a straightedge set across the backside rim of the wheel.
Offset is the distance from the wheel center to its mounting surface. To find offset, plug the rear wheel spacing and width into this formula:
Offset = Rear Spacing — Total Wheel Width / 2
If you have a "positive" offset, the mounting pad is in front (or outboard) of the rim centerline. This situation most commonly occurs on front-wheel-drive applications. To picture this more accurately, think of the convex design of many wheels found on front-drivers; the center of the wheel sticks out further than the edges of the wheel. If there's a "negative" offset, the mounting pad is behind (or inboard of) the rim centerline. This is typical for most standard rear-wheel-drive vehicles and "reversed" rims. Sometimes, this style is referred to as a "deep-dish" wheel.
For example, an 8-inch wide, 3-inch-rear spacing wheel would have a 1-inch negative offset. Conversely, if the same 8-inch wheel had a 5-inch rear spacing, it would then have a 1-inch positive offset. Finally, if the same wheel had a 4-inch rear spacing (which is exactly half its width) then the wheel would have what's known as a "zero offset."
In wheel-measurement designations, the diameter is listed first, followed by the width. A 16x7-inch wheel has a diameter of 16 inches and a width of 7 inches. Diameter is measured where the tire rests, not from lip to lip.

thoes wheels are super whack, dont buy them
