Agreed! I'm a simple fella, I needed a simple explanation. Got it now. The last horse finally crossed the finish line 🙄. Now I can make inroads into selecting the right wheels.
I've watched 7 videos on how +40 would look on ky 05 maxima. You're the ONLY video that explains it AND SHOWS it fully with unquestionable detail. Tha ks!!!!
All of the people commenting that do not understand, couldn't figure out simple elementary algebra word problems... Great video Cj Pony Parts. Helped me out a ton. Getting new wheels this week!
Hands down best explanation of offset and backspacing I've seen! Showing the car up on the lift to demonstrate why backspacing is critical was spot on.
Freddy CJPP so what if i have clearance issue? can i buy spacers to correct it? the wheel currently rubs my dust cover on the inside of my front wheel when ever i hard turn what should i do?
Is it rubbing the metal dusk shield behind the brake rotor? Or the wheel well/fender liner? A wheel spacer can fix some issues, but can also create others.
Freddy CJPP the fender liners, when i turns hard left or right, it rubs on to it. however i dont know how to find out what width of spacer should i be using
If it's hitting the fender liner it sounds like you might have too large tire diameter. Get the car up in the air and turn the wheels full lock in each direction and look at the room you have, you can experiment with putting washers on the studs to act as spacers then putting the wheel on and see what your clearance is like. If/when you find a good fit measure the thickness of washers. You may need to get longer wheel studs as well when you get spacers.
I have been looking for deep explanation about offset since offset is the only thing i don't get about rims but most videos out there even in my own language (im Malaysian) are not very helpful but this video explained very well.. very helpful and informative.. thumbs up 👍👍👍
great explanation… other videos used complex terms which to somebody who dosent know shit sounds like gibberish.. i fully understood that and helped me find the right wheels
I'm watching this 6yrs later and you just helped me out so much. I'm looking for Rims in the near future for my Q50S and now understanding this will help me out alot. Where are you located?
Hi, That's a good lesson. However i need some advice" i have a bmw 328xi 2007 3.0 E90 i want to put 20"concave rims. Can you please tell me if i can and if I will need spacers!
Good video well explained. Now can you please tell me what offset is needed when you fit a bigger wheel. I have a Nissan RPS13 and OEM offset was +45 on a 15" wheel. I now have an 18" wheel with +45 offset. This is probably incorrect im thinking for tyre scrub
I have a 2018 GMC 1500 truck i bought a set replica wheels in size 26 inch. I want to use a 305/30/26 tire my wheels are 26x10 with a 25mm offset. I'm wondering will they rub because I don't want to lift are drop my truck at all?
Thank you so much for this video. Helped me understand a lot about offset. I recently bought 2018 VW GTI autobann with 18*7.5 rims on 225/40R/18 summer tires with 49mm offset. I have a set of old 2014 Jetta winters tires sitting around which are 17*7 on 225/45R/17 with offset of 54mm... not sure if these will fit without rubbing any suspension/brakes etc? Any help will be appreciated :)
if you have a 17x7 wheel with say... 40et offset and wanted to go to a wider wheel. go with 17x8 at 30-35et 17x9 20-30et. roughly this will allow the wheel to stay positioned correctly to avoid contacting the suspension. although the wider you go the more poke will stick out the fender. each car has its limits with wheel size. usually when you push the limits you run into fitment problems, heavy wheels,extra stress on the suspension and brakes.
@5:01 if it was negative offset, than the backspace measurement would be less than 4,5 inch wich is a half of wheel width. When you substract a 4,5 from
I can fit +35 on the rear of my car without issue. But the spokes of the wheel hit the caliper on the front. Is that an offset problem? Or backspacing?
I wish i can get you to help me find what's the best Offset for 2013 chrysler 300 AWD 🙏 looking to do staggered wheels safely 20x9 front and 20x10.5 rear,on the other I've learned more about Offset I'll be doing some measuring asap Thanks
I’m about to purchase black rhino Armory 17x9.5 MY question and concern by Changing wheel from 17x8.5 to 17x9.5 the backspace on the new wheel is 5.3Inch compared to the old 5.0 Inch , Would the new wheels touch the lift knuckles ( spindles ) ? With that New wheel ?
Hi, thanks and very informative. I would like to check my ride is a peugeot 207 cc with wheel 16” specs of offset 27, center bore 65.1. I am planning to upgrade to 7x17 offset 42. Can you give me idea if this is a safe size or should be the 7x17 offset 20. Thanks
My stock wheels are ET39. I'm looking at different alloys which match the rim size and PCD, but have an offset of ET45. Would this be ok and safe to fit?
what is the deepest concave with the ferrada fr4 on 03 cl500 Mercedes sports package could fit without rubbing in back (back spacing) or sticking out of the fenders staggard/ I'm thinking 20x9 front 20x10.5 rear..
Thanks for the great explanation. I guess, if I follow the car manufacturer's (Toyota in my case) recommendation for a Corolla wheel/tire upsize, then I should not run into clearance issues?
Hello, I have a Subaru Outback. The factory rim size is 7JX18ET55. I want to change the rims to 17 inch Subaru comes with the following sizes 7JX17ET 55 or 48. I can't find any rims that size but 8JX17 ET38 or 7.5JX17ET55 and with the 18 inch 8JX18ET30. My question is can you mount the rims that are not exactly the same size or not. Thanks
Hi. It would be ok to use rims with a offset something between 38 and 46(different models) if the one from manual is 43? Does this differences are ok without touching the arm or car body? Also if the original wheels are 6 inch wide, can I use 6.5 inch with the same tires? do you think will touch the arm when steering to maximum, or half of inch is accepted? Many Thanks !
I have a cAR the tyre is 185/70/r14 .THE (et) OF THE WHEEL 45. RIM WIDTH 6. and i want to change it to r17/45/215, RIM WIDTH 7 but i dont know how to know the (ET)of the new wheel . please i need your help
so if i'm getting wider wheels i should decrease +offset so that will put the hub closer inward and therefore decrease backspacing so nothing will touch the suspension?
Yes that's the idea but you should go to customwheeloffset.com 1st before guessing...click on calculators link @ the bottom of their homepage and use their "clearance" calculator to compare your current wheels to the ones that you want...It will give you the exact differences in measurements & then you could go to the car and measure if you're still unsure
I have a question about the offset of my wheels they are 21 inch wheels I just put on my Lexus LC 500 they’re supposed to be both +15 offset with a tire size 325 3021 in arrear therefore the right side the passenger side rear tire sticks out couple millimeters more than the left side what is the reason for that please help me if you have an answer thank you very much ?
Great video! some extra points the positive offset may seem like the bearing are offset as well but as is the case of the e36 m3 the position of the bearing in the hub ends being center line with the rim even with stock rim off set.
Hey. Planning to put on new set of ferrada fr3 wheels. 20x9 front, 20x10.5 rear on my ‘18 charger. Would I have any rubbing or tire sticking out the fender if I put 315/35 rear? Front shouldn’t be a problem since it’ll be either 275/285x35. I don’t want any sticking out nor internal rubbing. What would be an ideal rear tire size? I wanna go the largest I can which is 315. If not, what’s the solution, I really wanna upgrade but a whole lot info out there that gets u confused. Please advice. Thnx
I have a Cadillac 2014 cts and I wanna get some 20 × 5.8 rims but I don't know of It would fit I saw some good rims in Amazon but the sellers can't answer my question I need help thanks

Excellent job of explaining offset and backspacing. Thank you for going slow and making it understandable.
Hands down one of the best summation’s for wheel guide fitment 🏆🏆🏆
Very nice, crystal clear explained. Thanks.

This was the best explanation video by far TY
Very clear explanation. Thanks. I was always confused and not sure what it really meant. I had some clue but not a clear understanding.
Great video explained a lot. Looking into aftermarket wheels and tires. I learned a lot from your video.
Glad it was helpful!
what effects does changing the offset positive or negative in regards to load bearing, wheel bearings, wear and tear, alignment?

Hi CJPP!! What is the minimum and maximum of back spacing a Focus ST have? Thanks! Very informative video!!! Keep it up!!
There is a problem if I used a wheel 35mm offset when the car from factory is 40mm?
when you were explaining offset, you were not clear as to where you were measuring it. is it the front of the hub or the back?
Please explain which offset causes the wheel to protrude further from the wheel well +45 or +48
does anyone have a video on the pros/ cons, handling and wear characteristics on bearings/suspension parts when changing +/- from a oem offset?

I still found it a bit confusing, but know more now than I did before, so thank you for that.
Very nice. I won’t remember it but I understand for about a week or so 😁
Excellent video! This explains a lot
how do you find which offset and backspacing is appropriate for your car?
Very thorough explanation. Thank you.
Very good explanation. Thanks for this.

Thank you! That was the best explanation ever
Great video and very simple to understand. Thank u for clarifying it all.
I have a question , the factory is +45 offset , but i can only find +50 offset in the market , will the +5 offset harm the suspension ?

So if i have deep lip wheels and they stick out the fender like an 1 inch and half i need to do a negative offset to a-line with the fender?
It would depend on clearance. Less backspacing or more positive offset will bring the wheel in more.
executed perfectly. The cardboard trick was helpful!
So the smaller the back space, the further out your wheels will be from the fender?
awesome video! deserve so much more views!
Great job. Well explained
All those words and numbers on the back side of the legs will also give all the info about the wheel, offset included.
Brilliant class!!! Well done and easy to follow!!! Thanks!!!

Okay stop taling gibberish
Nice and simple. Perfect
Would I have issue if I install same size rims with ET 55 on a car that original rims ET45
Excellent video. I now understand
So how do I find all these measurements on the wheels and tires on my truck? I have to pull the tire off the wheel?
I don’t get backspacing. I want a rim that pokes max 1”.What number do I need to pay attention to? 4.5 or 5?
