I dont understand why its done. I love the way it looks but i dont know why or how it would get done. Ive searchd online n found that the difference in the offsets r small almost invisible. I would like to know why its done amd how do you determine how much of a difference to make the measurements in the dront and rear tires...

your asking about offsets? Well offsets play a big part in the wheels. say you have an offset like +45, thats going to be pretty close to oem rims.if you go lower to say +15 it will be more flush with the fender.

Positive Offset
A positive offset occurs when the hub mounting surface is on the street side (the side you see) of the center line of the rim. Most factory rims will have this type of offset.

Zero Offset
When the hub mounting surface is centered within the rim, it is known as a zero offset.

Negative Offset
If the hub mounting surface is on the brake side of the center line of the rim, it is considered a negative offset or “deep dish”.

O and im also curious about what do offsets do. Like why do people get them done.

lower offset wheels pushes the wheel closer to the fender, filling the wheel well to make it look better.

All FWD cars uses positive offset.
RWD uses negative offset but they can also use positive offset as well.

Jason, you the man. I haven't gotten around to looking into off sets for rims I plan on buying, but planned on it soon. And you just answered my questions. Thank you.

What's up with you getting your Integra, that going to happen anytime soon?
