Thumbs Up Thumbs Up I'm finally there Glyn....That's why my offset with 10" wide rims don't stick out past the arches (the tyres do though).

Great pictures and a lot of fathoming as to where the hell I was going wrong. It was the relationship between the 'moving' centre of the wheel (dependant on offset) the final position of the wheel on the hub and the fixed hub I was struggling with. Doh......

Embarassed Cool Thumbs Up If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

Thankfully the Blindo wheels and my freestyles are the same width so any change in offset will translate directly with a move in the outside edge of the tyre.


Yes, that is correct Thumbs Up

There is a calculator on this site which works out how far your wheels will change by putting the info in:

This is also a useful site when considering changing wheels and/or tyre sizes:

This too was a handy tool for me as I was going down an inch in rim diameter but wanted to keep the same rolling radius so my speedo wasn't thrown out....
