Offset on stock wheels / Pro5?

[hawaiiannights]

Sorry couldn't find a straight answer, what is the offset on the stock Pro5 wheels pictured below? And is the rest of this info correct? 16"x6" Rims with 195/50 Tires?

Thanks in advance!

Look inside the rim it should be stamped in there I believe. If those are off a Mazda 6 they are +60

The lower the number the more the wheels sit closer to the fender well outwards. +42

The higher the number it goes inwards towards the suspension. +45

And spacers make the number lower not higher. So on a +45 offset rim if you add a 10mm spacer your making the wheel +35 so will suck more. The only way to make the offset higher is to machine down the wheel on the inside. Make sence? I get confused when I think about it too....if i'm wrong somebody slap me....

The offset on the P5 is +50 mm. Sedan is +45 mm. MP3 and MSD are +55 mm.

So if you have 17" or higher rims you want a higher offest?

great, the offset is the distance from the centerline of the rim to the wheels mount pad, the area that attaches to the hub.. this is in millimeters, a positive=outside the centerline-outside is of course the wheel front(part thats looks good)like, 45+ means that its 45 millimeters from the center of the wheel towards the front.. the bigger the number the more the rim sets in the fender. the smaller the number and the negitive numbers will push the wheel out of the fenders giving you that wide mean look, but go to much and your wheels will rub in the fenders while turning and even the top of the fender if you lower the car.. most people add lots camber to help clearance issues..but rim width will also change the offset you need to clear everything while turning.. no worrys for most though cause you got room in the fenders an can chage sizes and offsets here and ther and still be fine..if you have more questions let me know, thers more to it, but it takes time to type, ill be glad to help if needed..

-------to go with the above post ------ ok this may help, and yes i made this because i had nothing else to do -lol

so it is better to have a lower offset? because that way the base is wider therefore more stable in the corners?

 

[WRCprotege]

true, you will get a better feel and stablity in corners, the only downsides are that the wheels will kick more stuff on the sides of you car-hits ther not as far in the wheel wells and you get more road walk- the road grabbing the tires and pullin on way or the other, most of the time you can go 20mm-30mm from stock and have no problems and sometimes more.. my old protege was like 50mm differance and it came all the way out to the edge of the fenders and cleared no problems-that realy change the looks of the car.. wheel spacers can do this as well, though i wouldnt go bigger than 1/2 inch thick on those- but thats still like 14mm, and lookin at a ruler 14mm dosent look like much but you put it on an car and its noticable..

Hmmm...Mazda6 17's with 10mm spacer.
