AU Ford's wheel offset?

Teknoslasher · 03-08-2009, 12:03 AM

Just a quick one, I'm buying some new rims, but not sure what the offset for the AU is. Any idea how I could tell?

With a 17 x 8 rim, the offset is 35. Anything from 30 to 40 will fit with no worries (in 8" width). If you go 7" or 9", the offset will need to adjust accordingly. But if you order them for an AU, they should send you the right offset, regardless of width. In case you need to know, the PCD is 114.3

How do I tell if the following would fit?

4 WHEELS 18 X 7 INCH
4 TYRES NEXEN N3000 235/40 Z R18
ET 45 OFFSET
MULTI STUD PATTERN
5 X 114.3 AND 5 X 100

or

35 and the stud placement is 5/114.3

ET 45 OFFSET

They are a +45 offset, but only a 7" rim. a 235 is illegal on an 18x7

45 on a 7" rim would go close, 35 would be better, but as Slo_AU says, I wouldn't put a 235 on a 7" rim (225 is max fitment on 7"). See if they have them in an 8" or go a different style.

How do you go about telling if it will bolt on?
