I found this on a website selling alloys a while back - I think it's right...

Those offsets are too high for the 16 and 17 wheel you'd want 30-35 Et on them.Ally wrote:I found this on a website selling alloys a while back - I think it's right...

Not if you're starting with a positive offset. This would increase the offset.Jamo (In another thread) wrote:Placing spacers reduces the offset rating moving the wheel away from the arms.
Wheel diameter doesn't make any differnce to the required offset, that's more to do with having wider wheels. Granted most large diameter wheels are wider, but not all.Jamo (In another thread) wrote:This is why when you increase wheel size you should reduce offset and why the Taurus rims are ET33 and not ET37
Can you explain further? What problems did you encounter? Reducing a positive offset would move the wheel deeper into the arch, and I thought some people had experience rubbing on the rear axel tie-rod. It's much easier to roll your arches than start attacking inner wings etc. with a big hammer. Logic tells me you want the centre line of the wheel in the same place, unless the tyre starts rubbing on something.
Hope this makes some sense, as the more I think about it the more confused I feel.

Just found another link that maybe does a better job of explaining offset.

Less offset = outwards
If the wheel had 0 offset the mounting face would be aligned to the centre of the wheel.
Any value ET## will bring the wheel inwards from this point.
Hence, if the number is smaller (33 instead of 38) the wheel will move outwards

Wheel diameter has everything to do with offset!!
offset is taken from the centre line of a wheel, if the wheel is wider then there is more wheel either side of the centre line, meaning the wheel gets closer to the steering arms, reducing the offset moves the centre line of the wheel and there moves the wheel away from steering arms

I can't see what differnece diameter makes, we're discussing the offset, inwards or outwards positioning of wheel. Diameter is on a different axis.Wheel diameter has everything to do with offset!!
Agreed with. One thing I haven't checked what usualy starts rubbing first, the wheel arch or the inside (steering components, fuel pipe, panhard?? etc)offset is taken from the centre line of a wheel, if the wheel is wider then there is more wheel either side of the centre line, meaning the wheel gets closer to the steering arms, reducing the offset moves the centre line of the wheel and there moves the wheel away from steering arms

Fuel filler pipe, inner and outer bodywork on the rear, and on the front you may find the tyre will rub the underseal off the inside of the wheel arch, on the box section when at full lock.480_rocket wrote:I can't see what differnece diameter makes, we're discussing the offset, inwards or outwards positioning of wheel.

OK, here it is. Public apology to Jamo regarding +ve and -ve offset:
I'm sorry Jamo, you were right, I was wrong.
(I still maintain that diameter has nothing to do with width and offset.)
