Postby trueno_20v » Sun Jan 01, 2006 8:48 pm

I am buying new mags and i need to know the offset of my advanti acids so i can get the right offset on the new ones, does anyone know if there is only one offset on acids or a way to work out the offset, i have taken a mag off and i didnt see any numbers etc? cheers

Pull the wheel off and lay it face up on flat ground.
Measure from ground to the hub mounting face (call this A), then flip over and do the same (call this B, make sure this is still to the same mounting face). Add A and B together and divide in half (call this C). The difference between C and A is your offset, If A is more than C the offset is positive if less its negative. You need to be pretty accurate with your measuring though.
Or just take one to the tyre shop to do for you.
