OFFSET... woo woo woo woo.
MIGOS
Trevor Hart Lmfao your dumb as hell my guy but you forgot a woo he said it 5x's not 4, still funny though
This shit was my most googled thing before buying wheels and still confused lol.
Do you have any specific questions?
Fitment Industries I'm good for now, I already got the gist of what this means. Haha
@@FitmentIndustries 3 years too late, but I think showing a visual difference between say, 35mm offset wheels and 40mm offset wheels
@@LostParadise_ lol
I still don’t get it lol
Instructions not clear..
I accidentally glue my wheels on the roof
Man what the hell I ain’t learn nothing 😂
You guys are amazingly helpful for new car enthusiasts.
I am very confused tbh
Do you have any specific questions?
Fitment Industries how do I get a fat lip?
Fitment Industries so the lower the off set the closer I am to the fender ?
Fitment Industries I have a question. I have 3 piece HRE wheels. My offset is zero. If I wanted to go widebody and achieve a more deeper dish/concaved & aggressive appearance, could my current wheels be sent back to the manufacturer to be adjusted to meet the specs/appearance that I'm looking for? Your support on this would be greatly appreciated.
Do it look like those wheels was left off bad and bougie?
I love this channel, it's just a matter of time before you guys start getting millions of views, keep the good content going!
Thanks a lot, andy!
Damn your comment really predicted their success
@@thunderclaw6133 visionary hahaha
Dude scrap this video and do it again but with an actual wheel/rim. Its easier to understand with an example. The drawing is not helping. Trust me.
We will make a more in-depth video on how to measure :D
i had to watch the video 3 times over to understand exacly what the drawin was of xD at fisrt i thought it was the rear wheelbase. holding a wheel up with the drawing would help a lot.
Great video! I too watched it 5 times, only because I was unfamiliar with some of the terms used. Now I know I want rims with less positive offset. thanks!
I watched once and understood!
Off set for beginners my ass
Don't see why some folks are complaining about the explanation..Its quite straight foward and easy to understand..Good job
Good video, the wheel at the end helped. Offset ,basically, will determine how much dish(we used to call them deep dish rims?)your rim has or how much clearance between brake caliper and rotors.. roughly.. lol
You honestly have the best and most informative videos
Hey thank you! That is what we are trying for! 🙏🏼
dude, where are all of your subscribers? just discovered, brilliant quality :)
Thank you so much for this video. Helped me understand a lot about offset. I recently bought 2018 VW GTI autobann with 18*7.5 rims on 225/40R/18 summer tires with 49mm offset. I have a set of old 2014 Jetta winters tires sitting around which are 17*7 on 225/45R/17 with offset of 54mm... not sure if these will fit without rubbing any suspension/brakes etc? Any help will be appreciated :)
Damn I’m still just as confused as I was before this video! But thanks for trying!
check out konigs wheel offset video
I just started learning about wheels and this was very informative!
Glad you picked up something :D
FANTASTIC job Alex. Thx 😊
Learn something new every day...😮
This is perfect thanks dawg

Your welcome! Check out our online gallery, it has over 5000 vehicles with fulls spesc :D

Could you send down to reduce offset for rims that you have already bought if it is too late to send them back
Thanks for the video. I don’t know how others struggled to understanding the drawing, I did perfectly and even watched it on 1.5x speed and had no problem. Thanks!
would you guys happen to know what the best offset for a 2018 wrx is? looking for a nice flush fit with the fenders. thank you
what offset should I use for the 10th gen civic sedan (1.5T) 19" wheels using coil overs without rubbing the fenders?
is there a diff. between concave wheels offset vs wheels that have a deep lip offset?
Glad i found this channel
I want to about the handling aspects n what's best for what
Cormill beats are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
opinions needed, i want to go 19x8.5 on my scion tc(Stock suspension and brakes) what offset would be better 35 or 40/42
Offset is crucial for suspension geometry setup for proper tire grip with regards to bump steer and Ackerman angle.
So helpful!!
Can you do the truth about wci or advant garde rims?
Both will for sure get an episode!
What I'd like to learn more about is, back spacing & bore measurements. Are they the same thing?
That Gold and pink gt86 is heavenly🥰
My stock wheels are ET39.
I'm looking at different alloys which match the rim size and PCD, but have an offset of ET45.
Would this be ok and safe to fit?
that 370z thumbnail tho 😍😍
Looking to change up my rims to 19x9.5 +22 all around or should it be a +30-+35 -2015 lexus is fsport awd... will +22 work?sitting on BC coilovers & spc cambers. Had poke look but i want a almost flush with a slight tuck if that makes since😬😁
Holy shizznilty!! Most straight forward and best explanation on this platform. Tyvm

So I have a 19x8.5 rim and it’s Et35. If I add a 15 mm spacer to the front will I clear the fender
does anyone have a video on the pros/ cons, handling and wear characteristics on bearings/suspension parts when changing +/- from a oem offset?
We have not but that it is a great suggestion for a future video!
Hey what vossen rims and offset would be good for an 05 4dr accord..
If I’m looking for a wider look without using wheel spacers should I shoot for positive or negative offset?
You would be going for a negative offset then! 👍
so width of the rim is calculated by ''inside the lips'' right ? positive offset the mounting is towards the exterior relative to center line and negative offset is more towards the car? thanks !
If I want a more concave look. Do I go with wider rim or lower off set to push midline back. I know more factors come into play but just generally speaking.
Both will help!
Hi, I have a factory steel wheel size of 16x6.5 with offset 45mm. I would like to replace the steel with with alloy wheel size of 16x6.5 with offset 40mm. When I installed alloy rims to the car, I hear noise but not with original wheels from factory. In addition, the center cap is not stayed due to the center hub is long to hit the back of the cap and it just pops out.
Is this caused by offset difference? If so, applying 5 mm adaptor will solve this issue?
I need help with find a wheel that’s wider than my 18X8 wheel. I have a 235/40/18 tire and want just a tiny bit of poke but a double step deep dish wheel. Looking at 18x9.5 WOTH either a +20 offset or the +30 so witch one would give me a bigger double step deep dish wheel?
I want to order the work cr2p with great step lip and big concavity as possible of course without any changes to my suspension or body, the brake kit can be replaced with one that will fit properly
I have a 2017 Passat RLine with 19’s stock what’s a good offset to give me good Fitment for my ride?
I need to know what wheels are on that Nissan in the picture of the vid they look sick
Steven, I might be too late but the wheels are avant garde. I love that car as well. Here is the link.

Still hard to find the perfect fit with no poke on a stock height 2018 STI, every fitment for 18x9.5+38 all have poke which is not flush to guard. Is the offset causing the tyre/wheel to poke out rather than flush?
Hey I drive a 2001 lexus ls430. The calipers are pretty big. I was thinking about getting sum work emitz rims, 20s. Wut will be a good offset? I don't really want a deep dish look, nor do I want a flush look...? Help!!!
Thanks!
Hello, if my car recommendation is 7.5Jx18 ET32, can I go with ET35 instead ? It's for a Toyota corolla 2011.
When it came to trying to figure out which offset to go with it became a headache! That is until I called Fitment Industries and they got me setup right!
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 how’s it looking now?! What ya go with? -Edgar

Is +44 offset of 18 x 8.5 wheels will touch the coilovers of a honda civic 8th gen? Thanks.
i just ordered 15x7 +15 off set on my del sol. on 195/45/R15 does anyone know if this should be ok?
Maybe this video is too outdated to ask a question on, but if I want some deep dished wheels, (not negative offset, maybe 0-35mm offset) how would I make that fit clean with stock fenders? If even possible.
Alex , if my car have 18x8j et 45 , and i mount 18x10.5j , should i get an offset that will be 45mm-(10.5j-8j)
In result 45mm- 1.25"=~14mm offset
Thank you very much indeed
7.5Jx17 ET30 and 7Jx17 ET50 rims are interchangeable?(2012 honday odyssey)
Yeah can u explain offset and what it is for the laiman
What to do if you don't know what ur stock offset and you have like 17x7 rims and want a 20x9.5 ? Like it's a big difference and I really need to know what offset is supposed to be. I drive Dodge charger 2006 sxt
So.. I was thinking about buying ESR SR08 18” 5x100 idk what offset. Not dropped, just stock height on a BRZ. What type of offset should I get? Planning on getting BC coilovers after that
Whats up man shoot us an email at wheels@fitmentindustries.com and we can help you with that!
Fitment dudes! Please please please do a video on the new 3 pc wheels esr dropped! Pleasaase! Everyone is going crazy over them! They're 3k a set and we are all wondering if the hefty price is really worth it, especially when you can just go with name brand wheels like rays, work, bbs, etc
I promise as soon as we get out hands on them we will!
How do you know what offset you need for your car
What would work for Volk TE37SL with stock components on a 2020 STI?
So would +32 or +45 be more concave? I'm looking to get that deep dish look and im still kinda confused. Which one of those 2 would give me a deeper dished look? I subbed! Thanks for any advice!! Edit after watching again I'm saying +32 would be the deeper concave? I just don't want to order the wrong wheel lol
Yo bro Ik you prolly picked a wheel by now but yeah the more negative/less the number is the further in it is and with a one piece with spokes like he showed it would give it a concave look!
So positive offset is good for bigger breaks?
That was confusing. I can't tell if the diagram is showing and skyview of a single wheel thingy or the distance between both.
Yeah same
Do I need wheel spacers for a rocket bunny 350 how do I know how wide a rim is
i am looking at getting a set of cosmis wheels 006 18x9.5 or 8.5 how aggressive would that wheel be with a 10mm offset for a 2019 civic sport hatchback any help would be great
9.5 would be pretty aggressive! I personally just went with 8.5 and I have some pretty decent poke! Shoot us an email at shop@fitmentindustries.com and we can help you find something!
My factory offset is 45mm. The wheel I want is 50mm. Is that ok? Will it stick out too much? Thanks
I have a 2018 Accord lowered on Eibach Pro Springs which is a .8 drop. Can you give me advice if I was to do 19x9.5 +22 offset would I be fine without any modifications like fender rolling or cambering the rims? I am really interested in the Aodhan DS02 but don't want to get it if I am going to need to do any modifications just to make it fit.
You will definitely have to roll fenders. May have to camber a bit as well. It definitely will depend on what size tires you run as well
Does more offset equate to more concavity?
I've seen the gallery.....I want personal recommendations for at 2013 GTI... come with it, what you got!
IMO Rotiform RSE's however we have so many options on our site here! --> bit.ly/2XebhmU
Hi guys I'm in need of some assistance,, the wheels I almost can afford only come in 17x8 25 5.120 for a E36 and I can't find any of those fitments on the gallery.. I really want them to have some concave at least haha.. Will they fit?
My car on the thumbnail 🔥❤
Y’all got any recommendations for a 2010 genesis coupe, I’ve seen the gallery and want a personal recommendation I wanna do a wide body
ESR or Aodhan DS line wheels look great on gennys
I am looking to get wheels & tires for my 5th gen prelude. I want a slight negative offset to give it a little bit of an aggressive look. I already lowered my car 1" from stock height getting rid of most wheel hap but still have about an inch of wiggle room. I plan on doing this next summer & am trying to get the best info possible.
Are you looking to run camber as well?
@@FitmentIndustries Nope, just a flush fit.
Can you please help. 2012 acura tsx on coilovers. I want a set of wheels but dont know the right offset for front and rear wheels. I want a flush look
Hello, Shoot us an email at wheels@fitmentindustries.com and we can help you!
I really want to buy from you guys and I am 98% sure. The vids are what sold me. However bro. This is just confusing. I'm not an idiot. I just feel like I gained nothing if I were to try and pass the info on to another.
Gonna search for a new version.
I am curious what offset options I wisely have for a 2015 Hyundai Genesis 3.8L rwd.
I own a BRZ what is recommended to do before I try and run a 0 or negative offset? Or Especially for a concave look?
A wide body/flares or that won’t ever fit without a lot of camber
What do I need to do to make sure I have the right offset and not have to worry about damaging my brake calipers?
Shoot us an email and we can help you on this one! wheels@fitmentindustries.com
Hi, one question, do wheel offset affect the car's acceleration? Thanks
it shouldn't man, only weight affects acceleration. cheers
I'm very much a novice so plz bare with me, so with a neg offset (tire/rim will stick out farther) are the rims built/forged that way or is there some sort of spacer? Also, if one goes with a neg offset will that effect the integrity/ride/suspension? I have an 2015 Audi RS5 & wondering if offsetting would compromise the suspension or what monitors the suspension.
Offset doesn't compromise suspension much, but yes, the lower the offset ism the farther it sticks out. You can buy spacers or you can get them built deeper
Can someone help me out I have a Infiniti q45 1999 I want 19" rim with step lip, so my question is what is the right setup for my car, going for a flush look thanks

Hello there, I would suggest based on our online gallery somewhere in the ball park of +20 to +24! Take a look at our gallery as a reference to see what specs everyone else has for there rides! bit.ly/2XLXz6W
