The wheel offset determines the spacing of the wheel in relation to the suspension and body panels. It is measured as the distance in millimetres between the wheel mounting surface and the centerline of the wheel. In other words, the mounting surface is inner face where the lug holes are. The centerline is the center of the wheel.
There are three different offset ranges:
⦁ Positive - When the mounting surface is in front of the centerline and closer to the outside rim than the back part of the wheel; this gives your wheels a more flat face.
⦁ Zero - when the mounting surface is right where the centerline is; this gives your wheels a centered look.
⦁ Negative - When the mounting surface is recessed past the centerline; this gives your wheels a deep dish look.
Another handy measurement is the backspacing of a wheel. This is the distance from the inner mounting surface to the inner lip of the wheel. Sometimes this can help to determine clearance to suspension components.
