No you are not because it's negative not positive offset and the more of it there is the further in towards the center of the car the tire sits. Less offset means more dish. ET25 is what the car should have and AFAIK the LS is deep dish.Originally posted by LikeCDoosi don't know about you but it makes since to me that the wheel with the larger offset would have the deeper dish...am i thinking clearly here or no?Comment

my bad, i thought more offset would put the lug bolts closer into the fender and not the tire. So rims offset is refering to where the tire lies not the lug bolts?Originally posted by franzNo you are not because it's negative not positive offset and the more of it there is the further in towards the center of the car the tire sits.

No you sorta have it right, it's lug nots or tires depending on how you look at it. Thing is almost all cars have NEG offset so it's not mentioned as negative but it's assumed. If it were positive offset you would have it straight.Originally posted by LikeCDoosmy bad, i thought more offset would put the lug bolts closer into the fender and not the tire.

Offset for e30 is in millimeters the distance between the center plane of the wheel which is equidistant from both rim edges, to the inside edge of the mounting surface, where the wheel touches the brake rotor. As this number increases the wheel sits farther in the and the wheelbase width decreases.Comment
