help with offset please

Post by irish_delica83 »

i need some rims for my new 30x9.5x15s herc T.D.M.T. s says i should have 7.5 rim. Im looking at 15x8s and 15x7s, what offset do i need do i just add an inch to the 25mm-30mm it says on wiki on the stock wheel for every inch the wheel gets wider?

depends on how much you want the wheel to stick out.

The difference between the crown/rubber meets the road between 15x7 and 15x8 is very small.

If I had a choice and preferred the 15x7's, I would choose the 15x7's.

Will depend on the backspacing as well.

I have 15x8 with 3.75" backspacing which pushes the whole rim/tire outwards a touch too much.

15x8 with 4-4.25" backspacing is perfect for the Delica.

15x7 with 3.75 - 4 " of backspacing is perfect as well.
