New wheels, question about offset.
Thinking of getting new wheels and the offset is confusing me. Currently I am on stock wheels and stock tire size. If the info I found on here is right, my current front offset is 58mm and rear 65mm. Correct? If so, I am looking at new wheels with a front offset of 56mm and a rear of 57mm. Will these work with no problems? Thanks.

Thanks for the help guys. I guess I just don't get it. For simplicity, if the offsets are a higher positive number than factory, then I should be worried? Of if they are smaller? Or, is it not really that simple?

You should only be worried if the number is too high or if it is too low. All vehicles have a high and low offset range that will work, but that range also depends on the width of the wheel and the size of the tire (both width and height).
