Wheel offset

Post by tritontray »

I have nissan terrano II and the alloy wheels have an offset of 25mm (does this sound right seeing as the steels are almost the total opposite?)
on them. The steel wheels I am wishing to get have an offset of -19mm on them. Can someone explain if I can run the steel wheels dispite a 43mm offset difference.

Thanks

PS: I tried the search function, but didn't find what I was after

That's a big difference... make sure that the originals are really positive 25mm... I though FWD cars mainly had positive offsets like that.
Are they a different width rim?

Legality or wheel track increase would be an issue, and also won't they stick out of the guards being 43mm further out? People also think wheel bearings may suffer using a bigger offset rim.

ok that be my issue. the standard rims are 15x7 25mm offset. the new ones i was quoted on are 15x8 -19 offset or 0 offset. Sorry I left the 0 option out in tmy original post. would that make more sense then
