**Wheel Offset**

**Zero Offset**

The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.  
  
**Positive**  
The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.

**Negative**  
The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. “Deep dish” wheels are typically a negative offset.
