dern Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Here's how to measure it... http://www.trailerplans.com/wheel_offset.htm Here's a load more info... http://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html I've no idea what the standard factory offset is though I'm afraid.

Jenko Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I understand the standerd off set of standard seiw cars is approx 38, with PCD of 108 (which is the wheel nut spacing measured across the diagonal from the centre of the holes). I measured mine recently, and indeed it was 38. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatman Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 The answer to the question is, it's usually stamped on the wheel, usually on the inner part of the hub. If not, whilel the wheel is off you can measure it by following the destructions on the web sites above. Or if you want to know because you need to buy wheels, we need to know if it's a new kit, an SDV, or an old car or what. And as has been said, it's an oft covered subject around here. I doubt we'll be posting any *new* information any time soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatman Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Don't stop there. Do you have a wide body car, narrow body car or what? We may be able to give you a simple answer once we have all the info... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Cox Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 And if you're after 13 x 7s, I've got a set for sale. Andy What's the offset Andy? ...if, that is, you know how to measure it? [original question serious] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 They're stamped ET5, but I measured them for someone else (I measured the total width of the tyre, and the distance from tyre to mounting face) and he reckoned they were ET30. This would fit with them sitting too far in on my car. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adhawkins Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Well, I've been trying to get rid of them for bl**** months! The owner of my new set is probably getting fed up storing them for me Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Nope. The storgae charge is mounting though And please tell me you measured the wheel and not the tyre when you measured the offset... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
