Default Stupid question......

When the topic of wheels comes up, there is invariably the mention of "offset". Exactly what would we be talking about? Please enlighten me. :confused:

Go to here and read up on it. When you change the offset you change how far the rim goes in or out or the wheel well of the car. Good luck :cheers:
