What is rim offset?

How does if affect a car, it's a look, etc.

I'm clueless on the subject.

Thanks, N.

Hehe,

Thanks Baron.

Got clued up on it the other day thanks to Watercool.

205 PCD is Fuchs, right?

Cheers, N.

Nope - Fuchs, and any other Porsche wheel is 5 x 130, 205 is standard 5-stud Beetle.

(Type 4s are 4 x 130

)

Aaah, OK.

I spoke to Dave Rowley yesterday, because these F'ing Randars are starting to get costly...

They are 205, and I need to machine special stud disc hubs to fit them...they have a very odd mount on them. Check the pics I sent you...more specifically, those square-base wheelnuts.

Thanks, N.
