do u want them pushed out more or tucked in…offset is centerline of wheel to where it mounts to the hub…Larger the number more tucked they will be…less the more pushed out the wheels will be

with what i posted originally the wheels will just barely tuck. so i’m going the wrong way if i go wider, and would need to add not subtract.

i hate sizing wheels

I don’t even think Hondas have that high of an offset. If you’re only running 7" wide wheels, you need to be looking for some closer to 0. You shouldn’t be looking for anything that high unless you’re looking for 9.5 - 10 inchers.

_edit_ It also doesn’t matter how wide your axles are front to back, it matters how much distance there is from your hub to your fender.

Really? I couldn’t tell. You also don’t ADD to your offset to get the bigger lip out back, you SUBTRACT.

How do you expect a staggered look without a bigger lip in the back? :fail:

Because you’re using fwd wheels on a rwd car. That’s what happens.

are you dyslexic?

the rear end is 1 inch wider hub to hub, so the front wheels (that are in the oem location) need to be pushed out .5 inches each to match the rear end. the offsets i posted will just barely fit in my wheel wells. i CAN NOT have them out any farther.

edit:

and you posted again. you really need to stop posting in this thread. the SVO mustang used crazy offsets. please just stop.
