Wheel Offset Explained

To ensure you’ve selcted the correct aftermarket wheel for your vehicle, it’s a good idea to understand wheel offset.

Wheel offset is the distance from its hub-mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel, so knowing the offset not only helps determine which wheels are compatible with your machine, but offset can affect the performance of a vehicle. Most wheels have their correct offset data embossed on the mounting surface. Millimeters are used as the standard unit to describe offset, which can be zero, positive or negative.

Zero Offset
Zero offset means that the wheel’s mounting surface is centered within the rim, aligned with the wheel’s centerline

Positive
Positive offset is when the hub-mounting surface extends past the centerline and closer to wheel face. This brings the entire wheel in toward the brakes and vehicle suspension.

Negative
Negative offset is when the hub-mounting surface is located in the back half of the wheel, closer to the back lip flange. This moves the wheel out away from the vehicle brakes and suspension.
