Ahem... if I was going to get some new wheels.....

[DoogyRev]

If I was going to get some new wheels and just happened to be looking at 10.5 at the rear, and 9.5 at the front in a 19" flavour what would the ideal offsets and tyre size's be?

 

been looking around and just confusing myself

[Ian]

Offsets between 12-22. Tyre sizes 245/35/19 & 275/35/19

Agree with Ian.Running +23 front +22 rear with the tyre sizes mentioned.

Hi Ian,

 

Thanks for the reply, sorry for being a total thicky there are some things I get, but offsets seem to be a mystery at the moment. All I have read has just become a blur.

 

Between 12-22...... does that mean they will fit straight on my Zed or will I need spacers................ feel free to me.. LOL

[Ian]

If you get offsets between +12 & +22 then they will fit perfectly

 

Mine are a +22

 

 

If I was buying again tough then I'd be looking for an offset less than 15

+1 - I need flash cards or something, have absolutley no idea

[Ian]

The lower the offset the further OUT they sit, The higher the offset the further IN they sit. Bulletmagnet posted a good diagram explaining it a few weeks ago

 

Edit: Here it is

This one?

 

My Volks have a +28 offset on the front and +23 off set on the rear

I understand offsets but for some reason I can't get my head around that diagram

That's because it doesn't reference the edge of the wheel arch which is what you need to see to have an idea of how far inside it the wheel will sit.
