Agreed! I'm a simple fella, I needed a simple explanation. Got it now. The last horse finally crossed the finish line 🙄. Now I can make inroads into selecting the right wheels.
I've watched 7 videos on how +40 would look on ky 05 maxima. You're the ONLY video that explains it AND SHOWS it fully with unquestionable detail. Tha ks!!!!
Freddy CJPP so what if i have clearance issue? can i buy spacers to correct it? the wheel currently rubs my dust cover on the inside of my front wheel when ever i hard turn what should i do?
Is it rubbing the metal dusk shield behind the brake rotor? Or the wheel well/fender liner? A wheel spacer can fix some issues, but can also create others.
Freddy CJPP the fender liners, when i turns hard left or right, it rubs on to it. however i dont know how to find out what width of spacer should i be using
If it's hitting the fender liner it sounds like you might have too large tire diameter. Get the car up in the air and turn the wheels full lock in each direction and look at the room you have, you can experiment with putting washers on the studs to act as spacers then putting the wheel on and see what your clearance is like. If/when you find a good fit measure the thickness of washers. You may need to get longer wheel studs as well when you get spacers.
Hands down best explanation of offset and backspacing I've seen! Showing the car up on the lift to demonstrate why backspacing is critical was spot on.
All of the people commenting that do not understand, couldn't figure out simple elementary algebra word problems... Great video Cj Pony Parts. Helped me out a ton. Getting new wheels this week!
I have been looking for deep explanation about offset since offset is the only thing i don't get about rims but most videos out there even in my own language (im Malaysian) are not very helpful but this video explained very well.. very helpful and informative.. thumbs up 👍👍👍
great explanation… other videos used complex terms which to somebody who dosent know shit sounds like gibberish.. i fully understood that and helped me find the right wheels
I'm watching this 6yrs later and you just helped me out so much. I'm looking for Rims in the near future for my Q50S and now understanding this will help me out alot. Where are you located?
This video was great and I totally understood offset and backspacing, I’m just starting my own business as a small tire shop, mostly doing seasonal tire change overs, thanks guys.
if you have a 17x7 wheel with say... 40et offset and wanted to go to a wider wheel. go with 17x8 at 30-35et 17x9 20-30et. roughly this will allow the wheel to stay positioned correctly to avoid contacting the suspension. although the wider you go the more poke will stick out the fender. each car has its limits with wheel size. usually when you push the limits you run into fitment problems, heavy wheels,extra stress on the suspension and brakes.
@5:01 if it was negative offset, than the backspace measurement would be less than 4,5 inch wich is a half of wheel width. When you substract a 4,5 from
damn men, you really helped me to understand it very well, I have a jeep and an issue with fitting bigger wheels and customizing it myself and these things really helped me to understand backspacing,positive+negative and measurements You are D men...thanks
Great video! some extra points the positive offset may seem like the bearing are offset as well but as is the case of the e36 m3 the position of the bearing in the hub ends being center line with the rim even with stock rim off set.
Good video well explained. Now can you please tell me what offset is needed when you fit a bigger wheel. I have a Nissan RPS13 and OEM offset was +45 on a 15" wheel. I now have an 18" wheel with +45 offset. This is probably incorrect im thinking for tyre scrub
Thanks for the great explanation. I guess, if I follow the car manufacturer's (Toyota in my case) recommendation for a Corolla wheel/tire upsize, then I should not run into clearance issues?
Thank you so much for this video. Helped me understand a lot about offset. I recently bought 2018 VW GTI autobann with 18*7.5 rims on 225/40R/18 summer tires with 49mm offset. I have a set of old 2014 Jetta winters tires sitting around which are 17*7 on 225/45R/17 with offset of 54mm... not sure if these will fit without rubbing any suspension/brakes etc? Any help will be appreciated :)
Great explanation my man, people get confused with the whole positive, negative OS because in their mind it's backwards. Just the way the brain works.🤔
Good video man. I think for some of the others on here you could have had another wheel that had a strong negative offset and showed that in comparison.
Hi, That's a good lesson. However i need some advice" i have a bmw 328xi 2007 3.0 E90 i want to put 20"concave rims. Can you please tell me if i can and if I will need spacers!
ANNOUNCEMENT: We've published a newer, more-detailed, up-to-date version of this video! Check it out here: cjpony.parts/UPDATE
Dude that's the best explanation on you tube regarding offset and backspacing
+5r%+11
Damn right!

@Giovanni Joey I think that you may just be on the worn channel.
I've watched 7 videos on how +40 would look on ky 05 maxima. You're the ONLY video that explains it AND SHOWS it fully with unquestionable detail. Tha ks!!!!
THE best and most concise explanation of this concept that I've seen on RUclips. Great job, and thank you!
You Sir ,are a gentleman . You explained this so well that I now understand . I think you
Honestly, best video that has explained & displayed "offset" for me.
Came here to learn, left with more questions
What questions do you have?
Freddy CJPP so what if i have clearance issue? can i buy spacers to correct it? the wheel currently rubs my dust cover on the inside of my front wheel when ever i hard turn what should i do?

hard to find this type of clear concise education in these youtube streets. thanks

Great video Cj Pony Parts. Helped me out a ton. Getting new wheels this week!
Great explanation! Simple, clear, and precise without any crazy background music or B.S.
BEST video online for wheel measurement! Now we need one this clear to measure the car itself
Excellent job of explaining offset and backspacing. Thank you for going slow and making it understandable.
The back spacing example was so easy to understand.
Thank you!
Watched 3 other videos on this topic. Glad I finally got to this one! Don't need anymore. Best explanation!!
Best explaination on Backspacing and Offset on RUclips.
AzraelPercussionNEO lol
Hands down one of the best summation’s for wheel guide fitment 🏆🏆🏆
at 5:37 he demonstrated really well what I was trying to find out. Thanks
Exactly, Thank you sir lol
Very nice, crystal clear explained. Thanks.
i lost you after you said hello
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao right
You should get a different internet provider. 😐
Funny thing is he didnt even say hello...he said hey 😂😂😂
I can watch this all day
This is the best on this topic. Absolute best.
Ok so I'll remember CJ Pony Parts look for this man on the video and ask for help, easy.
I have been looking for deep explanation about offset since offset is the only thing i don't get about rims but most videos out there even in my own language (im Malaysian) are not very helpful but this video explained very well.. very helpful and informative.. thumbs up 👍👍👍
Thanks so much for this explanation it was bothering me so much to not understand this

Excellent and very clear instructions, hands on demonstration with the wheel really helped as well as concise info so it wasn't over my head
Best explanation I've ever heard!
Very clear explanation. Thanks. I was always confused and not sure what it really meant. I had some clue but not a clear understanding.
Thanks, the best explanation of wheel offset I have ever seen.
this video makers people think and too many viewers hate that : ) , great presentation, thanks
I have gone through other explainers but this was truly the best. I have understood offset & backspacing perfectly. Thank you so much 🔥🔥🔥
This was amazing! Especially the last minute or so! Thanks
Excellent video. Very well done. I will be shopping with you guys.
So in other words go to a tire shop and order the rims with their help? Ok got it
Lol...yep or buy wrong damn rim
best explanation. no one close to it.
This was the best explanation video by far TY
Excellent class Bro, for those who did not understand, forget it and use Uber
Best explanation in a video ive seen all year great job and thank you
Excellent information and clearly explaining the whole process, easy to understand....thanks & cheers from Australia👍🍻
Great video explained a lot. Looking into aftermarket wheels and tires. I learned a lot from your video.
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice. I won’t remember it but I understand for about a week or so 😁
best explanation ever!
I still found it a bit confusing, but know more now than I did before, so thank you for that.
very clear explanation
Thank you 👍👍👍
Very thorough explanation. Thank you.
Excellent video! This explains a lot
Excellent video. I now understand
executed perfectly. The cardboard trick was helpful!
VERY WELL EXPLAINED 👍
Great video and very simple to understand. Thank u for clarifying it all.
This video was great and I totally understood offset and backspacing, I’m just starting my own business as a small tire shop, mostly doing seasonal tire change overs, thanks guys.
Thank you! That was the best explanation ever
Top explanation hats off to you.
awesome video! deserve so much more views!
Brilliant class!!! Well done and easy to follow!!! Thanks!!!
Very good explanation. Thanks for this.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic explanation. Thank you.
Great job. Well explained
Thank you sir, greetings from Dubai
Thx for info , background music is very loud though big thumb up 👍
Nice and simple. Perfect
Clear and simple Thank You

Check out the 17x12 i put on my P71, 84lbs of rotational mass..lol The added weight of widened steel wheels is real..
Man that was great....now it finally makes sense...thank you
Great video and very detailed. Thanks CJP!
how do you find which offset and backspacing is appropriate for your car?
@5:01 if it was negative offset, than the backspace measurement would be less than 4,5 inch wich is a half of wheel width. When you substract a 4,5 from
Search for calculators for wheel , tire and even axle gears.
Calculators are extremely helpful
damn men, you really helped me to understand it very well, I have a jeep and an issue with fitting bigger wheels and customizing it myself and these things really helped me to understand backspacing,positive+negative and measurements
You are D men...thanks
Pla
thank you for this video it was very helpful 🙂
Thanks for explaining offset
Absolutely fantastic explanation, thank you!
Amazing explanation mate 😀
what effects does changing the offset positive or negative in regards to load bearing, wheel bearings, wear and tear, alignment?
Congrats on 100k!
Thanks!
Very well done and informative, I sold tires and wheels for years. Another topic can be the calculation for overall diameter of tire and wheel. 👍🏽
Hi CJPP!! What is the minimum and maximum of back spacing a Focus ST have? Thanks! Very informative video!!! Keep it up!!
Great video! some extra points the positive offset may seem like the bearing are offset as well but as is the case of the e36 m3 the position of the bearing in the hub ends being center line with the rim even with stock rim off set.
Okay stop taling gibberish
What kind of rims are these they look dope.
What wheel was that. It's clean af.
Good video well explained. Now can you please tell me what offset is needed when you fit a bigger wheel. I have a Nissan RPS13 and OEM offset was +45 on a 15" wheel. I now have an 18" wheel with +45 offset. This is probably incorrect im thinking for tyre scrub
where did you buy your tape measure?
Please explain which offset causes the wheel to protrude further from the wheel well +45 or +48
Thanks, it was a clear and good explanation.
This video helped Thanks!
So is the wheel width on the websites a measurement from bead to bead or the wheel as a whole?
Thanks for the great explanation. I guess, if I follow the car manufacturer's (Toyota in my case) recommendation for a Corolla wheel/tire upsize, then I should not run into clearance issues?
So, negative offset gives the best backspacing in this case?
Thank you so much for this video. Helped me understand a lot about offset. I recently bought 2018 VW GTI autobann with 18*7.5 rims on 225/40R/18 summer tires with 49mm offset.

Any help will be appreciated :)
when you were explaining offset, you were not clear as to where you were measuring it. is it the front of the hub or the back?
Great vid you explained it very well
Great explanation my man, people get confused with the whole positive, negative OS because in their mind it's backwards. Just the way the brain works.🤔
Good video man. I think for some of the others on here you could have had another wheel that had a strong negative offset and showed that in comparison.
hello sir, 9" shown on 0:59 is same as 9" shown on 3:02, and at 4:35 1.5" is 38.1mm, not 40mm,
He's showing different measurement techniques and rounding up is a standard practice. Stfu.
Very Informative!!
Hi,
That's a good lesson.
However i need some advice" i have a bmw 328xi 2007 3.0 E90 i want to put 20"concave rims. Can you please tell me if i can and if I will need spacers!
Awesome explanation thank you
Outstanding vid.
