Where people go wrong

  • Treating offset and backspacing as the same thing; they use different units and reference points.
  • Entering wheel width in millimeters while the formula expects inches.
  • Checking wheel numbers but not brake caliper and suspension clearance.

FAQ

What is wheel offset?

The distance from the mounting face to the wheel centerline in millimeters; positive offset means the mounting face sits outboard.

Can I change offset freely?

Not by much; it changes steering feel, bearing load and fender clearance.
