48 offset wheels on a car with OEM 55 offset

[david1972]

Hi folks,

Would this cause any problems? Can never get the offset thing the right way round in my head.

Any advice welcome, thanks [emoji106]

Shouldn't do, what wheels have you got your eyes on ?

I'm thinking about the SG Foz 17s i got to put winters on, which are 48 offset, and whether they'd fit on a 55 offset car

In that case no they won't fit and you need to sell them to me 😂

They should go on fine it's only how much the hub faces sits out in relation to the rest of the wheel I think ??

haha yeah I could.....

Good thing is they have legal matching tyres on and I've got a trolley jack now, so could always test fit first before buying any winter rubber
