Show off your aftermarket wheels !

If the wheel is 8.5" wide and is advertised as (0) offset,.. allowing 1" for the spokes, then one would expect aprox 3.5" of lip on the outside,...but in this case as you can see by my photo, they built the back of the hub up almost 3" and that sent the spokes out and lost the lip.

 

[Shaw520]

In the 1st photo the spokes appear to be at, or close to center of rim,... if you look at the wheels I received there about a 5.5" lip on the back side and 1.5" on the front. Im not bitching just expressing my thoughts and expectations. Im pretty happy with the wheels over all so they'll stay.

I have never seen a 8.5wheel with a 3” lip...
Almost all 10wide lownoffset wheels have 3” lips and 12wide wheels have 4-5” lips

No that’s for a car. Totally different then a truck. Your really missing the ball here

 

[Shaw520]

I think you're missing the point,..zero offset means just that,.. The spokes should be at or near center of rrim,..old school thinking.

 

[Shaw520]

If you look at the photo i posted of the back of the wheel,..theres all kinds of lip on the back,.. They pushed the spokes outward and added 3" in the back of the hub. My guess is its that the manufacture cheapa out bc less chrome finish on the outside.

Tires/rims came today,.. I like them but Im getting prepared for some trimming,....With the 0 offset I was hoping for a bit more lip, but when you see the back of the wheel you'll see why the spokesView attachment 195636 View attachment 195637 are so far forward, not sure why they do that.

It looks like where the wheel bolts onto the hub is the middle of the wheel to me like a 0offset would be... but it’s only a 8.5” wheel... if it was a 10” wide wheel u would have 1.5” more lip....

Where the wheel bolts to the hub is built up by almost 3",...get my point yet,... so the (0) offset is true in relationship to the hub being centered in the rim,... but the spokes are now offset by 3" due to the mating surface being built up.

The spokes is not where the wheel bolts on. I don’t know how to help u understand but that 5.5”u have in that picture is measuring from the spokes and not where it bolts on to. It’s just wrong

 

[Shaw520]

This is an 8" rim,..look at all the lip,...this is just one example of many.

[Shaw520]

By the way, the example shown in your vid is a +18 offset,... mine is a 0 offset....which I expected to be set back a bit closer to center of rim.
On a side note; Ive seen this guy Shawn do a couple Norcal Mods,..and I wouldnt let him NEAR my trucks. lol.

Again that’s a stock photo... that could be a 10” wheel or a 12” wheel for all we know. u need an actual photo.

It's just the design of the wheel. The offset is always gonna be measured from where it contacts the hub. That's what offset is. It really has nothing to do with where the spokes are located. I feel ya, though, on it being a little deceiving with the pic.

Here's a set of 15x8 (0 offset) polished aluminum's in my garage that came off one of my old gmt's,...hmm look at all that lip on an 8" wheel.
It really boils down to how the manufactures are making wheels today,...deep dish is just not in style anymore and the manufacturers take advantage of that because it less finish work to the curbside.

Deep dish is what all the guys put on there lifted trucks. It’s in style. The wheels that u just posted look like a small lip to me. But regardless they are different style of wheels. Every wheel is different. I’m done replying because this is retarded

 

[Shaw520]

Well i didnt mean to upset you,... I thought we were discussing different wheel variations. Possibly if youd been around cars as long as I have maybe you wouldnt have been so condescending by saying "you cant get a lip on an 8" wheel", back in the day when (0) offset meant just that,...that the hub would be bolted to the CENTER of the wheel, roughly the same location as the spokes. Instead, on the wheels I got, the hub is centered but the spokes are +offset nearly 5" to the outside.... to me that is a marketing ploy and a way for wheel companies to cheap out. I mean theoretically you could get as much lip as the rim will allow based on the offset,...in simple terms, an 8" rim with -2" offset should yield aprox 4-5" of lip...again, old school thinking.

Yes!,... you can actually find these on CL locally if yer into looking,.. reasonably priced too!

Edit to ad; polished aluminum is alot of work.
