Friday morning wheel question [Holy Crap! Update]

I like my Sunchaser wheels, but they are too big (15x7), and I am getting a lot of rubbing, especially with passengers in the car. So I am dropping to 14 x 6.5, in these cool Work wheels.

One of the best things about these is that they are available in a lot of sizes. But they are not available locally. The one thing I can’t figure out is the offset. Any tips on how to figure this out?

[Holy Shit! Update!]

The genuine minilite guy emailed me and has my wheels!

Russell, you dog, I thought this was not going to happen. This solves the whole problem, I get my genuine minilites, and they are about half the cost of the Equip 03s.

You can try this: https://www.willtheyfit.com

I haven't used it, so IDK if it's accurate.

Oh wait, you need to know which offset you need. I think I get it now.

You have to take off the wheel and measure from the mounting location to figure out what offset works.

+10 offset will make your wheel be split into 3.643701" inboard of the mounting location, and 2.856299" outboard of the mounting location.

The +10 means the mounting pad is +10mm past the centerline of the wheel.

1mm=.0393701" to help with your math.

Where are the current ones rubbing?

I like this one. I use it a lot:

It is pretty darn accurate IF you take advantage of all the options; fender/suspension clearance, etc. The main thing to remember is you MUST measure your current clearances.  It’s the only way to know you aren’t about to order a set of useless wheels.

I love Equip 3s, by the way. Excellent choice.
