I think Freestyles have a +33 offset. See Mr Tyre's post here......

Same offset for boosts....the PCDs are different on the Freestyles. Hopefully someone in the know will be along to confirm as my research was done with Google not first hand experience.

Hi All,

Sorry if this is a stupid question but how do I find the offset specifications for rims?

I am really interested in values for boost, which I now from this post

, and the HD (wolf) rims. 2002 110 TD5 White

I did some google based research and consensus seemed to be Wolf (HD) wheel offset is 20mm.
Perhaps someone with some genuine Wolf wheels can confirm - it should be stamped into the rim somewhere or if not, physically measure for us.

The wheels offset figure isn´t the whole story, as it is the distance to the centreline of the rim. The width of the rim 5.5,6.5, 7 0r 8", has also got to factored in.
I put together a table showing how much effective width (per side) the listed wheels are in comparison to a stock 5.5" steel wheel.
I have ZU´s which means that the outer edge of those wheels (and tyres) stand 41,1 mm further outboard than the stock ones, or (41.1 - 19.1) 22 mm further outboard than Boosts or Freestyles.

stock steel wheel 0
Freestyle Alu. 7 x 16 19,1
Boost Alu. 7 x 16 19,1
Sawtooth Alu. 7 x 16 23,5
Wolf Steel 6,5 x 16 25,1
ZU Alu. 7 x 16 41,1
Dotz Dakar Steel 7 x 16 44,1
CW Alu. 8 x 16 59,8

Hope this helps, and makes sense .-) 1998 Tdi 90 SW,

Be careful buying Freestyles for a 110. They were never offered as an option due to load rating I think on the 110
