Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G'day,

I know there's numerous posts on this site about offset, bloody heaps of them, but i'm yet to find the what a Landcruise offset is sorry.

I've been told i'd need Landcruiser offset rims for my Mav to fit 33's. The local tyre guy has told me CSA steel rims with a Patrol offset are -24, and i've read here that most Patrol offsets are -25, which is the same as a 75 series Landcruiser.

So my question is, what actually is the Landcruiser offset, as the tyre guy doesnt want to know about ordering another set of rims?

Thanks.

Landcruiser Offset = Zero
Example: 80 Series
Steel 16x8 is 4.25" Backspace
Alloy 16x8 is 4.5" Backspace

Landcruiser Backspace = 3.5"
So the back of the Rim does'nt touch the Drag Link Tie Rod Ends. - Like on a 40.
