Conversion: 1 INCH = 25.4mm
example: 17x10 rim is 254mm wide (0 offset for that gives you 127mm sticking out and 127mm going in)
Mods sticky this?
Also please feel free to throw in some exact figures in here as far as whats the maximum clearance you have gotten from rim backspace. Thanks! |
Your still not that clear, thats why some people don't understand.
Let me help.
Your example for example: 17x10 rim is 254mm wide with a 0 offset means that the offset is dead center, so you have(254/2=127. You have 127mm front and back space. If this same rim was a +35 you would find the center line wich we already did its 127, now add 35(+35) (127+35= 162) now take that away from the total width(254-162=92) so our rim is 92/162 convert that (162/25.4=6.3 and 92/25.4=3.6) your rim is 10" wide with a 6.3" back space.
This is not going to tell you what you can fit unless you know your car, I had a tool that would let me put a car on a jack and check the in and out clearance, but it grew legs. You can also use your stock to do the math on and then mesure from the front to see how it will line up with the fender
