Gidday Guys,

I have been checking out a few mag wheel dealers and have found a few that would suit a 1200 datto with offsets of 24P and 20P . Can someone explain the 20P and is their a ideal offset , looking at 14 or 15 inch rims..

Thank you
Cheers Paul.....

20p means 20mm positive off set, i wont go into it, as there is a good diagram around in the wiki i think, that can explian it.

you also need to consider what tyres you wont run before you even think of rims

14x6 +8 offset is a neat fit on the rear (with 175/60 or 185/60 tires and standed rear gaurds), the same rim on the front will be close flush with the outside of gaurd.

i now have 14x7 0 offset with 185/60/14 brigestone re001's and the they stick out 50mm from the body line on the front and the rear they stick out 15-20mm..

in 14'' tyres you can get (aus):

165/65 - nice dia, but crap tread and getting rare
175/60 - nice dia, some ok brands and tread, but getting rare
175/65 - cheap, crap dia, bigger than a 185/60...
185/60 - ok dia, good brands and treads, personaly i love my re001's!!

Thanks for the info , so the P relates to the amount of offset in mm..

I did have a set of 14's on my old datt , no sure on offset buy the tyres were , 195/55's , very nice fit, i will see if i can find a picture....

no theres, positive offset (+ or P) and negative offset (- or N), for example +20 means the hub mounting face sits 20mm outside from the centerline of the rim and -20 sit's inside 20mm from the center line of the rim.
