Remember that 'offset' is the difference between the wheel mounting face and the centre-line of the wheel itself. I'm not going to open up an 'argument' about the definition of negative and positive offset here, as this still confuses almost everyone, including me ! I just talk about offset as a whole. Suffice to say, to pull the wheel inwards, you need to reduce the offset, not increase it, so you want to come down from 20mm to say 10mm or 5mm. Don't go back to the standard wheels offset of 32 - 35 mm. Reducing the offset moves the wheel inwards and gets you back towards the original track your car first had. For our Celica's the general rule of thumb is that if you increase the wheel width you must decrease the offset. Now, be careful at this point as the wheel moves in that you don't foul any rear disk calipers you have fitted or the rear shock absorbers either. Cheers, Mitch.
