does anyone know the wheel offset of the rims that are on this car? its the xb 2nd gen gallery under nkb power, looks alot like zero offset to me, but i wanna make sure. By the looks of it, its flush with the fender...i love the deep dish looks. Guess thats from owning an AE86.
any info would be appreciated.
:D

you have to show us the car before we can guess at the offset ;) also, its VERY hard to guess the offset from a picture online

cut and paste if the link doesnt show

ok, that MAY help, but i think it may still be difficult because its an angle shot, instead of a direct side shot. oh, and i dont even know, so i probably shouldnt even be posting: but what the heck is offset?! i dont even know :oops:

I'm pretty sure nkb's site tells you. Off the top of my head, the front is their 16x8 +38 cup and the back is their 16x9 +30 cup, both in white.

If you google'd for nkb cups, you'd find this site:

There's enough random English to find your way around.

ok, thats fancy, but i still want to know what offset is . and while we're at it, what do spacers do/what are they for?

I was answering the poster's question. If you want to know stuff, google for it or start another thread instead of hi-jacking this one.

thanks granpa for the answer..
as for the offset question, scion kid...its the relation of space between the center of the wheel towards the lip...positive...and towards the hub, negative...
zero offset would be directly center of the rim...if you were to cut a 7 inch wide rim in half...3.5 inches either way= zero offset..
ya dig??
agan thanks gramps..
