Another Offset Question

[Benzowner]

Sorry for being a bit thick, I have studied the calculators above and can't get my brain around it. I am looking at some 16" wheels wheels with an ET54, the correct offset for my car is ET46, only 0.3". Would I need spacers?

No the wheels will sit 8mm further away from the hub. For most cars this is fine.

Thanks for that.

Thanks for that.

Sorry read that the wrong way they new wheels will sit 8mm further in and you may need spacers.

Sorry for the confusion

you will need spacers. 10mm hubcentric ones will do the trick.

Ah! maybe I did read it the correct way then, certainly had me confused

So a higher offset could mean a spacer, and a lower offset the wheels will be slightly farther out depending on the offset?

 

[Abb]

Yes, the lower the number the further out the wheel will sit.
