Well, I didn't think I'd have to clarify this- but, what I *should* have typed was "correct offset will change with width- as a general rule".
And your example is not the best- bottlecaps are 14x6", baskets are 14x6.5" and eurobaskets are 15x7".........so my original statement fits here- offset will change with wheel width... Keep in mind that the offset change will be *roughly* 1/2 of the change in wheel width (you'll have to convert inches to mm to do this calc)- .
You obviously can have wheels with the same size with different offsets- to properly fit different cars. But there is generally a "correct" offset range that works best on any particular car. For example- I have a couple of sets of 15x7" wheels that I use on my E30- the offsets range from ET22 to ET26, and they all fit just fine.
Howzat??
