TLontheDL Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 offset is the number in mm from the center of the wheel. so +35 is 35mm towards the outside of the wheel from the center of the wheel. the center of the wheel is 0. -35 is -35mm towards the inside of the wheel (towards the car). the lower the number, the fatter the lip.

1010tires.com Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 The offset of a wheel is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true centerline of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender well more. Conversely, a negative offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is behind the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This will cause the tire to stick out away from the vehicle. Usually a range of offsets will work for a particular wheel size. The range is usually only 5 - 10 mm though. It really depends on the vehicle though as some have more clearance in the wheel well.
