Who has 8in or 8.5in wide rims and what is there offset.

i have 8 inch wide rims, how do i find out the offset? Is it written on the actual rim?

Not that i know of

hmmm well they are BA series 1 xr6 rims if that helps.

It's writtin on the inside of the rim..

Used to have 18 x 8.5s and the offset was +40.. Used to be fine on the GTV.. Now they're sold!

Looking around for a new set..

I got 8.5" wide rims with +38 offset.. scrubs at the back coz of my 245 series tyres. +40 or +42 would be good i think.

Where does it scrub.

Tyres hits the guards when the weight transfers from cornering through some roads with undulations mostly uphills and off-camber corners. My guards are rolled but they still scrub at times.
