Factory Offset Question
Hey guys, questions with regards to facotry recommended offset
Searching the forums, I found this: Basic wheel specifications for the X3(F25) chassis are:So this basically states the ideal offset is 45mm but 43 to 47mm is acceptable which is within the +/- 2mm variance that I've been reading. My question is if the ideal offset is 45mm +/- 2mm, why does F25's come with offsets that as low as ET32 & ET38? OEM Rim specs are (realoem data) Style 304 - 17" Width 7.5" Offset ET32Thoughts / Comments?

Just speculating.. when you move down from 8.0" to 7.5" you're coming in by 1/4" (6mm) width on each side.. but you're pushing out roughly 10mm ET... so you've only really changed the offset effectively by 4mm
I could be completely incorrect in the above but that's how I'm rationalizing the varying offsets |
Appreciate
