guys how do you determine what offset is required?
im doing the brake upgrade and its gonna take the offset out of wack (even though i dont know the stoick TA22 offset) and just wanna know how it is determined???
Offset is the distance between the hub mounting face and the centreline of the rim. The offset required depends on how much you've moved the hub mounting face relative to the strut.
he wheel's offset is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. The offset of a wheel can be one of three settings:
Zero offset: The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.
Positive offset: The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front-wheel drive cars.
Negative offset: The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheel's centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically negative offset. Offset can be calculated by positioning the wheel on a flat surface and measuring its overall width and backspace as shown below. Divide the overall width by two, then subtract this result from the backspace value.
