dirtysouthUK Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 As the title says, does anybody know the offset for genuine wolf rims? I've searched on here and online, here turned up one thread but no answer and a general web search gave me a lot of differing answers. Surely they are all the same? No?

western Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 stamped in the centre 'nave' plate of my XD/Wolf steels is 6.5J x 16 x 20.6 mm, the centre plate sits in further to the inner bead than the standard 90/110 steels. so effectivly pushing the rim outwards away from the axle.

landybehr Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 quite sure they have: +20.6 mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The rim center line is 20.6mm inboard of the face that contacts the hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtysouthUK Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Excellent, thanks for the replies. So they are greater offset than the standard steel rims then? As in the wheels sit further "out" on the axle. So, and I'm completely guessing here, they are probably a little wider than the standard disco steels or alloys. Anyone know? Basically I'm looking at putting a set on my disco but don't want the offset of steel modulars but I do want the same or a bit more than than the standard disco rims. Thanks EDIT edited to answer my own question. After some more research, disco steel rims are 33 offset so if I've got my head around this offset thing the wolf rims should have a slightly wider track. Can an adult confirm this for me please.

Darren Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 To complicate things further, Disco steel wheels are 7 inches wide. I think that means that the outside edges of the wheels would be in essentialy the same line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtysouthUK Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 So.... The outside edge of the wheel is going to end up in almost the same place using wolf rims as the standard disco rims sit, give or take a mil or so. Thats good for me. Thanks for helping me get my head round this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajh Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I believe they're +11mm over stock ones. Measured it a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtysouthUK Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Right, so is that +11mm over standard disco rims? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
