    Offset has nothing to do with tires, it is the distance between the center line of the wheel and the actual hub mating surface of the wheel, thus determining how far in or out the wheel sits. Negative offsets occur when the majority of the wheel is outboard of its mounting surface. A zero offset is right on the center.

        Actually, it's best to use a special mix of gases, where about 70% is nitrogen, 20% oxygen and 10% of some other gases.

        This shit works miracles - I run it since forever - never failed me.

          It could happen.
          There are typos everywhere. Hell my fiends car says "e" on the back but he swears its an "is' and even sometimes says its an "m3". :D

That's why stancehomos have whats called negative offset, cuz the tires are undersized for the wheel and have to be stretched just to reach the bead surface. Also no one mentioned that the +1" naming convention of BBS wheels is because BBS is the epitome of quality and doesn't skimp anywhere, especially on wheel size. It's rather unique, most shitty made chinese castings are only +1/4" or so, whilst OEM japanese are +1/2", and americans are +3/4". It's all pretty simple once you get used to it.

                in an attempt to save this retarded thread:

                the rim diameter isn't measured on the outside of the rim, but inside where the bead of the tire meets the wheel.

                good job trolls. :weak:

                  please tell me this was not a serious statement.

                    Anyways as I always say, there is never a problem only a solution, how much do euroweaves cost on average?
                    you can't fit a 14 in a 15. seriously... this why google was invented.
