what is our bolt pattern and offset i am just way too lazy and impatient to look in my book i hvae at the shop

 

bolt: 5x114.3
offset: 40mm

 

anyone know what are the specs of the SL 17"? I will assume it's the same, but...

 

no that one is 35mm offset...........

 

dont know if this question makes sense but, the bigger the rim on a car the more of a difference on the offset. like the se rim offset is 40mm. the offset for 22's is 45mm. as far as i know. my question is, would you be able to put a 22inch rim with a 40mm offset and not have any problems or you think there would be a problem. sorry if it is confusing.

 

yada yada, google schmoogle. i making a sticky for u guys. I already knew my SE specs.

Ed,
check the wheel forum, or find a site that starts off with the Max and plus sizes your wheels accordingly.

 

I think is not how big they are is how wide they are that determines the offset.. cause if you get a 9.0'' wide rim with a 40mm offset the rim will go farther in towars the inside wheel well.. the 45mm offset pushes it out towards the outside so its not so far in..

this is how offset works..

negative offset-........................0.....................+pos sitive offset

if you have 40 on the scale is here.......40........45 is here. if you get it the hub of the rim (where the lug nuts are) is deeper in. the deeper in the rim comes out..

EDIT: the center of the rim is "0"
