What Offset Can I Go To For A Ke55 For Rims?

[Twitch]

Hi all,

I am trying to get a set of rims and I am wondering what the offset is that I can push a set of rims to, and if anyone can explain a little about what offset is then that would be great.

Oh and is the PCD on the Ke55 114.3 or 100?

 

Cheers,

Twitch

Your offset, put simply is the amount of rim, to either the outside side or the inside of the center of the rim.

So if you are running a 7 inch wide rim with a 0 offset, you would have 3 1/2 inches of rim towards the arch, and 3 1/2 inches of rim towards the diff.

Hope that helps.

By the way, i run 15 x 7.5 with 0 offset and they fit great with a little bit of dish.

No.

 

Use the search function and I'm sure you can work out why. :)

well almost, the offset is actually the distance from the centreline of the rim to the rim mounting face,

 

if it is:

 

0 offset - the rim mounting face is in line with the centreline of the rim

 

positive offset - the rim mounting face is from the centreline of the rim to the outside of the rim

 

negative offset - the rim mounting face is from the centreline of the rim to the inside of the rim

 

rim mounting face also known as hub mounting face as the two mate up...

outside of rim being the side that faces the street

inside of rim being the side that faces the inner wheel arch

If you didn't get much of that, basically the more NEGATIVE offset you have, the more dish you have. The more positive, the less dish you have.

The more negative offset, the more your wheel hub sits "inwards" on the rim. Opposite applies for positive offset.

 

 

 

This rim has lots of positive offset (no dish! :))

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This rim has LOTS of negative offset.... (lots and lots and lots and lots of fingerlicking good dish)
