Re: {SPAM} [MarcosManiacs] offsest for 15"x7" wheels

2003-05-15 by Don Lattimer

Just for reference:
The stock Marcos wheel is 13"x5.5" which translates to a centerline of 3.25" from edge to edge.
The backspace is 3" (the mounting surface is closer to the back of the wheel than the front).
So........the offset is -(neg).25" or -(neg)6.3mm

Maybe this will help.

A 15x7 wheel with 4" backspace 0 offset

A 15x7 wheel with 4.25" backspace 6.3mm offset

A 15x7 wheel with 4.50" backspace 12.7mm offset

A 15x7 wheel with 4.75" backspace 19mm offset

a 15x7 wheel with 5" backspace 25.4mm offset


After a lot of searching, the generally accepted +/- offset deal is best
looked at as front wheel drive cars have positive offsets. Older rear wheel
cars tend toward negative offsets. A "deepdish" or "chrome reversed" wheel
has a NEGATIVE offset.

Is that any help???
