Without the risk of sounding stupid, what is the “off-set” on wheels? I’m looking at replacing my tires and rims and would like the “fat” look. You know, when the wheels kinda stick out a little. Any suggestions on wheel types (off-set) and tires sizes?
I have a 99 VX on 16’s and no lift at the moment, but will crank up the front 2” and do the same lift on the rear. Will only be used on the street and very mild off road.
Thanks

As far as I understand it, "offset" is the position of the mounting point of the wheel. If you find a wheel with a 0 (zero) offset, then the center of the wheel will be right in the middle. My wheels are a 0 offset. Back-spacing is the amount of space behind the mounting point. Backspacing can come into play with the look as well as clearance for calipers and such.

Thanks for your help. That kinda makes sense. So what i need are "negative" offset wheels but not too much as to interfere with the brake calipers etc. If anyone could recommend the type, make, offset i’m looking for it would be greatly appreciated.
I will probably be looking at the steel rims in black.

Alot of people seem to have either Anything ranging from +20 offset and below.

Have a look through thread
Lots of the pics have the offset written under them.
