Wheel Offset Diagram (Page 1/22)
Joe Torma MAR 21, 02:45 AM
In trying to visualize and figure out what offest wheels to buy, I decided to draw a diagram to help me.
(new)This does take into account the actual lip thickness or the face of the wheel. The white "wings" are approxamately the thickness of most aluminum wheel flanges.(Note they probably vary from wheel to wheel so go by the inner lip)

I think I read some of the stock wheels are 7"/30mm.

I hope it helps


If you'd like a width/offset added here, let me know.

Here are what tire sizes may look like on wheels:

Sidewall height is next to the series...multiply by 2 and add the wheel diameter for overall height.

Added some more...Geez, I wonder what happens to the bearings when you make some drastic changes in width/offset.

Awesome! Can you add 7" wide 55mm offset?

Also, how much thicker are the Corvette rotors compared to the 88 Fiero ones?

Sure can...corvette rotors are maybe +8mm to the stock 84-87hub, I don't know waht it adds to 88s.
I'll measure and post a little later.

this will come in handy! how about 7/35 ? That seems like a common one I see around.

Awesome! You are the man.

How about a 7/40 (very common with Konig wheels) and a 7/48 and a 7/50 (common Subaru offsets, which also happens to fit our bolt circle. )

Thank you sir!

I edited this post to say thanks instead of adding another post. I have asked Cliff to make this a "sticky".
It's one of the most useful topics I've seen in a while.
