How to Calculate Offset after Lip and/or Barrel Change
I have work vs-xx's that are 18x8 et34 with 1.5" lips and im putting on 2.5" lips. So will they be 18x9 et9 or et21? i keep being told different from multiple people.
Thanks
I think the problem with his method is he is measuring the outer width of the barrel not bead to bead. wheels to my understanding are measured bead to bead and the offset is determined by that so If you measure from the outer rim as he has shown your adding another inch in most cases to actuall measure size of the wheel... great thread.....

I have a little dilemma and I hope some of you ran into this so you can give me some piece of advice. I read the whole thread but I'm still confused.
I have a set of OZ Futura 18x8J, ET 35, 1.5'' lip that I run with 24mm adapters and 205/40/18 tires.
I now want to change the lips with new ones measuring 2.75'' to make the wheels 9.25'' wide and put 215/40/18 tires on them. Will that change the offset of the rim? Since the width of the rim will increase, I plan to mill down the adapters a few mm to a smaller size until it gets to the fitment I want (probably similar to above). Do you guys think it will work?
P.S: I would prefer not to do any fender work. I like them the way they are

Based to what I understand, your offset will be lower (something around et8 ) therefore you will be poking. The only way you can get it done and be able to run it in your car is redrilling your wheels and ditch the adapters. (someone correct me if im wrong).
So I purchased BBS Rs faces (329) which are 17x8 et0.
According to previous owner they came with 1.5 lip and 6" barrel. I would like to put 5" lips on the rear which according to that chart puts me at 17x11.5 et - 44.

Can anyone confirm that?
Are they sandwich mounted currently, and if so are you going to leave them sandwich mounted?
