    Hi Ronny...Now how amazing and of a true coincidence this is...I was literally watching several alder of your "MODIFIED" videos, in which (very) regularly wheels, and their offset is talked about, but, not always very clear to me...And now there you are with a very comprehensive video about wheels' OFFSET !! Thanks, very clear !!!

  • @007diego2
    @007diego2 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Negative offset brings your wheel outward toward the edge, positive offset brings your wheel inward. No off set is centered, Thank you! There was much more that I learned but that was the basic info on which I can build on.

  • @alainstasse4602
    @alainstasse4602 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Thanks Ronny, what a timely video. I'm currently shopping for steel rims, and as I have jmacx's axle, I thought I didn't need an offset. Could not find one a zero offset and some were ridiculously out. ROH were the smallest at 10mm. Now I know why. Two inch wider rim will bring it in 1 inch and rub on something. Cool, now I'm happy to buy them. Thank you.

    I went with a -19 offset on my new wheels gave me exactly what I was looking for. Slightly wider stance increased my stability a food amount and my traction when driving through soft surfaces.

    • @raynman6466
      @raynman6466 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Traction? A wider track width will have zero effect on Traction. My bet is you got new tyres and that's why you got more traction

Having watched one of your other vids with the Hungarian couple, I can still survive without all the other bells and whistles for now.

  • @johnfitzgerald5158
    @johnfitzgerald5158 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I think another important distinction to make is that you can go less positive or more positive if you currently have a positive offset wheel. Likewise, you can go more or less negative offset if you currently have a negative offset wheel. i.e. my truck came with +45 offset wheels. I was running 35x12.5 tires with no rub. I wanted to up the tire to 37x13.5. I also wanted to increase the rim width from 8" to 9" to better suit the wider tires which also has to be considered in the calculation. I went with a lesser positive offset wheel of +20mm. In my case this was the best balance between rubbing on the upper control link inboard and rubbing on the rear of the fender well outboard. In the end with a little rear fender well trimming I have no rub on the fender at full lock, but I did gain a little rub on the upper link at full lock. This is the compromise I had to except to maximize my tire / wheel combo. If I went to 0mm or negative offset, I could easily clear the upper link, but I would have to do major surgery to the rear of the fender well.

    Also changing the offset either way has a
    negative impact on steering geometry. Maybe worth the compromise for better stability, but worth thinking about. As well as if you change it and something breaks or bends (think wheel coming off) the vehicle manufacturer will wash their hands of it and you’ll be on your own. They will just say we didn’t test or design the vehicle with those wheels. Can get very bad very quickly if there’s an accident with injury or death. Think ISUZU NPS300 4x4 with wide singles instead of the standard dual rear wheels.

    Thanks Ronny, I think legality is an important consideration. I’m led to believe the maximum negative offset legal in Australia is -25 mm from standard fitment. (For benefit of viewers Eg current model Hilux is +30 therefore max allowed is +5 before one becomes illegal)
    I see vehicles everyday on the road with aftermarket wheels which are running around with illegal offset if the above is true.
    If you have knowledge in this area It would be great if you could share that as well, cheers 👍
