Offset is the positioning of hub mounting surface in relation to the centreline of the rim.
It can make your track wider or narrower depending on the offset used.
In a catalogue for example, my wheels are 15x8", 0 offset.
For a wider track, I can use a 15x8" rim with -10, -19, -23 and -28mm offset depending on how much further I want the wheel to stick out.
Backspacing is just the distance from the inner edge of the rim, to the hub mounting surface.

Im assuming in that diagram, the wheel mounting surface is the LHS of the centre. Otherwise, an excellent diagram to expliain it.HotFourOk wrote:Offset is the positioning of hub mounting surface in relation to the centreline of the rim.

Yeah, the back of the mounting surface is where the zero offset line runs.+dj_hansen+ wrote:Im assuming in that diagram, the wheel mounting surface is the LHS of the centre.
