Default 15x7 0 offset

Hey guys. I'm used to running my 15x8s but am looking into 15x7 with 0 offset. Does anyone have pics of 15x7 with 0 offset that I can look at to get an idea?

Then my next suggestion would be to look at your car, and picture your wheels .5" inward. You do understand how size and offset work right? And my last suggestion might be to check and/or post in the wheel/tire sub forum and to browse the appearance/cosmetic build forums. You should have access to those even under trial user status and there's tons of member's cars posted in there. If you see one that is to your liking you can ask the owner directly for the wheel/tire combo, suspension setup, etc. if the info isn't already listed.

I know how offset works yes. The particular company tho goes through backspacing. Which I do not understand but I was told a 4" backspace is a zero offset. I just need an idea of what that looks like. I'll check in that particular forum to see if anything relates.

On an 8" wide rim yes. Offset is a measurement from the center plane of the rim to the mounting surface of the face (or brake disc depending on how you look at it).

This is on a 7". I'm used to running 8s but want something less cambered. Is there a website to do the crossover maybe 4" backspace on a 7" wheel?

You have just demonstrated that you do not understand how offset works (even after I had given you a brief description). I even gave you an answer based on what you were asking with 7" wide with +0 offset.

So now you want a rim with 4" back spacing while being 7" wide? Last freebie from me, take your desired back spacing and subtract half of the desired width of the rim, then take the result and convert to millimeters. That's your offset.
