Hi I have some staggered wheels on their way.

16x8 +38 and 16x7 +25

Would this mean that the front and rears would effectively be the same width from the front and rear fenders? Is there a calculation?

Cheers

 

Offset is a measurement from the center of the wheel. Therefore, for every inch you add to the width of the wheel, only half of that inch is calculated in to the offset measurement (half of the barrel inside of the wheel hub, and half of it outside of the wheel hub). One half of an inch is 12.7mm. So, in short, those wheels will have almost exactly the same exterior panel clearance.

 

Informative reply.
