I run my 35ETs on 15x8 steelies with an equal offset of 4" in and 4" out on the front, and 4.5" in and 3.5" out on the rear.

I'm sure he means 80mm backspacing. 80mm offset would be really bad. Backspacing is preferably around 4".

I understand back space is the distance between the rim edge and the machined mating surface in the center of the rim, though how does an offset measurement work :?:

It is always best to talk in terms of backspacing as this is what is critical.

I have 0 offset and about 90mm back spacing - which I can say is not enough - but thats how it came... Another 20 -25 mm bs would make it perfect.

I have a gold set of Mac 5's and they are 15 X 9.5
when i measeured for the off set i got the following measurements

rim edge to edge is 11 inches
inside rim edge to plate is 5 inches, so does this mean they are negative offset by 1/2 an inch ?
thanks if you can help
