We always use mm... cus engineers and designers never us anything US.. hehe ... only the metric system. This way its the same world wide.

... these are some nice pics you guys are coming up with....
I will use the hell out of these for trainging..

but the point is when you are figuring out offset you do NOT use seat to seat width, you use overall width. if people tried to figure out the offset of their wheels using what people said earlier in the thread it would be wrong. when a wheel size is not marked most sellers of wheels in the US and some in japan (upgarage) do not correctly measure the wheels and you end up with a different offset and width.

and they were talking about converting to mm which is 100% pointless except for offset, not actually measuring in mm. this thread is not about engineers and their fancy metric measuring tools, it's about retarded people on zilvia trying to figure out what size their wheels are.
