OK HERE IT IS IN ENGLISH SO YOU WOULD SAY YOUR WHEEL IS 16X7 WITH
A 35MM OFFSET FIRST THING YOU NEED TO DO IS FIND THE CENTER OF YOUR
WHEEL BECAUSE YOUR MEASUREMENTS ARE FROM THE CENTER OF YOUR WHEEL
TO DO THIS YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR WIDTH WICH IS 7" BUT YOU NEED TO ADD 1" TO THIS TO ACCOMIDATE YOUR LIP ON YOUR WHEEL WICH IS NOT ADDED INTO YOUR WIDTH 1/2" FOR EACH SIDE WICH GIVES YOU 1" SO KNOW YOUR TOTAL IS 8"S DIVIDE BY 2 WHICH WILL GIVE YOU YOUR CENTER IN INCHES WHICH IS 4" SO IF YOUR WHEEL WAS A 0 OFFSET YOU WOULD HAVE A 4" BACKSPACE NOW WHAT IS BACK SPACE YOU ASK IT IS THE MEASUREMENT THAT IS TAKING FROM YOUR THE BACK OF THE MOUNTING SURFACE OF YOUR WHEEL TO THE INSIDE OF YOUR LIP ON THE BACK OF YOUR WHEEL TO MEASURE THIS IS TAKE A STRAIGHT EDGE AND LAY IT ACROSS THE LIP OF YOUR WHEEL AND USE A TAPE MEASURE TO THE MOUNTING SURFACE OF YOUR WHEEL TO THE STRAIGHT EDGE HOPEFULY I DONT HAVE EXPLAIN WHAT THE MOUNTING SURFACE IS....TO CONTINUE ON WE ALREADY KNOW THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL WHICH IS 4" NOW YOU NEED TO CONVERT YOUR MM TO INCHES WHICH IS 25.4MM TO 1" SO DIVIDE 35 FROM 25.4 AND THAT GIVES YOU 1.37" OK YOU WITH ME STILL NOW SINCE THIS IS A POSITVE OFFSETT AND NOT A NEGATIVE YOU ADD 1.37" TO 4"........WHY BECAUSE YOUR WHEEL IS 1.37" MORE THAN YOUR CENTER WICH GIVES YOU A 5.37" BACKSIDE NOW STOCK IS ACTUALLY A 14X5.5 WITH A 50MM OFFSETT SO DOING THIS MATH YOUR STOCK BACKSPACING IS 5.21" SO BY DOING THIS MATH YOUR WHEEL WILL SET IN .16" OF AN INCH FROM YOUR STOCK WHEEL..........
