What do High, Medium and Low under the "Vehicle Offset" column mean? |
| "High" means High Positive Offset Typically +35 to +45, "Medium" means Medium Positive Offset Typically +15 to +25 and "Low" means None or Low Positive Offset Typically 0 to +15. These tell you how far the mounting surface for your wheels is to the outside of the vehicles fender, "Low" being the furthest inside the fenderwell and "High" being closest to the outside of the fender. Typically front wheel drive cars are "High" and rear wheel drive are "Low". This info is very useful in correctly purchasing your next set of wheels, if overlooked and you went strictly by bolt pattern you could either end up buying wheels that stick out from the fender or are sunk to far into the fender. Either way causing you to look rediculous and possibly creating turning/steering problems. |

What does "35-42mm" mean under the "Wheel Offset" column? |
| That's the range of wheel offsets you should be looking at for your vehicle when shopping for your next set of wheels. But, watch the width of the wheels you purchase, that affects the offset. A good rule is not to go any wider than 2" over your factory wheels width, unless you have a mid to full size truck/suv with plenty of fenderwell room, you may be able to go up to 3" wider. |

What does "Size Up" mean? |
| This tells you what size wheels over the factory size will fit your vehicle. Don't forget to factor in wheel width when sizing up, this is critical, width affects the offset, and the offset affects whether or not the wheel will stick out from the fender or rub your inner fender/strut. Alot of vehicles you search will surprise you in the size wheel they can hold, but alot of why they can hold such a larger diameter wheel has to do with the width of the wheel they are using. A good rule is no more than 2" wider than the facory wheel width, unless you have a mid to full size truck/suv with alot of wheelwell room. |

Since rim width is so important when buying custom rims, how can I find my OE rim width? |
| The easiest is to look in your door jamb or glove box. You should find the sticker from the facory and on it you'll see something like: Rims: 16x7.5J |
