Determining my wheel offset

well +10 means 10mm more of my tire is going to tuck. In other words be inside wheel well as oppose to poking out. My tires do have camber to them just not too visible in those pics. Trust the combination works well, and if u think ud be able to visibly tell 10mm of my tire was hidden easily, your wrong.

Rpf1’s are built so different its hard to visually compare between the 2. RPF1’s face is more raised than a DR20 so it will appear like its poking more even with a 38 offset.
Also ur car is stock height. Lowering it will tuck your wheels more and and make em have a way different camber. Mine is lowered 2" on 15x7+10, you have like 4" of fender gap where i have almost none.

no the lower the offset number the more they poke the higher the number the more they are sucked in. a +10 WILL, poke more then a +38.

Thank you.
Here is ^^^that EXACT rim in a 15x7 +10 offset on an EF 4-dr.

Do you not see a difference?

And now, the same wheel in a +40

Yours looks more like car #2, correct?
I’m starting to think your stamp is supposed to read +40, but maybe the 4 didn’t stamp all the way? I dunno, can’t explain it…but those are def. not +10

No, that’s NOT what +10 means. The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel, not how far in your tire tucks.

And again, if you think we’re BS’ing…Google Drag DR20 15x7 +10 and look at those wheels compared to yours. ALL of them have a way deeper dish lip than your flat faced ones.

I never said hey lets talk about my wheels i simply posted a pic…

i know that the offset is related to how the width off the wheel is divided on to the hub. I am saying +10 would move the mounting point further out thus making the lip on my wheel smaller. The word “tuck” was used to descibe which way the wheel moved oppose to stock, not to define camber.

Can nobody understand that?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offset_(wheel) will explain exactly what im saying… if the offset is +10 then more of the rim/tire will be on the inside of hub…in one word “tucking”.

If thats true then like i said my lip will be be smaller than a wheel with negative offset.

You are right…but is it impossible that the wheel was made to have +10 without a big lip? Thats the issue here we are using MY lip to talk about offset when in reality its the back of the wheel that changes the offset. The wheel could have been constructed to have a smaller lip with more material behind still giving it an offset of +10…But I guess me just being retarded was an easier option…

Cant a wheel can be made to have a small lip and negative camber, its all in the design …or am I wrong.

A wheel can made a low offset with a small lip for example

CG5accord’s wheels. Notice the center where the lugs go into place is deeper than the surrounding face of the wheel, theres an example of a lower than stock offset but with a small lip. I realize that you have the same idea as these wheels down below applying to your drags, but its just not the case for your wheel.


But in your case, those drags arent known to be designed to have a low offset with a small lip. Perhaps maybe when they were making the wheel they used the face of it
As for negative camber. Thats determined by suspension around it, mostly the UCA. If you wheel were to have camber engineered into the wheel, that would be a weird warped sketchy looking wheel.

Atleast someone could understand what i was saying…At first I didnt believe the wrong offset was printed on wheel. Just figured it was a wheel with a setup a little different than normal. I spoke to a rep from Drag and he told me they are stamped ET10 but in reality they are ET38 and he couldnt even begin to understand the mistake. LOL he wanted to buy them tho…
