how can i figure out the offset of rims i don't know what it is?
i know its a stupid question. Just got some 16x7 BBS mesh rims, but don't know the offset. don't see a noticable number stamped on them either. i found the 16x7j, and the made in "Germany" but don't really notice any others. ANY help would be much appreciated

TIA

Mitch

Sometimes they are and sometimes they're not, just depends on the manufacturer. Usually they wouldn't com engraved, but on the manufacturer sticker on the inside of the wheel, but of course older wheels that have been through a lot of use won't have those anymore.

It'll be hard to come up with an offset yourself...

No stamps on the inside of the hub or spokes?

 

Just measure the distance from the wheel's hub face to the inside edge of the wheel and subtract half the wheel's width from that

just measured it, looks like 6 1/2" from the back of the hub to the lip

 

If you're measurement is correct than it is 3 inches from the center of the wheel to the back of the hub and 3 inches is 76.19 mm. Are you sure you measured correctly?

 

i'll take some pics when i get home. give me like 30-45min. thanks for everyones help though sofar

 

up for added pics

 

Mitch, just mount some tires and roll. From the pics, they do not look as if they'll be a problem.

 

LOL at the moment, i don't have $ for tires. But i didn't want to pass up the deal on the wheels.
