ivan Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I thought if you decreased the offset it gave you less space between the hub and the wheel? I tried putting in 9" tyre width with a decrease in offset from 45 to 40mm - it tells me that it produces 5mm MORE inner clearance and extends the outside of the wheel by 5mm..

No the lower the offset the further out the wheels will sit. http://www.tirefactory.com/img/offset.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
