ok who knows what the standard wheel offset is? for a 4.5 inch wheel on a super? Also the offset is measured form the inside of the wheel? eg the face closest to the car, and measured to the inside edge of the rim. Iam getting some slightly wider rims 7 inch rears and want to make the rim sit a little more in. and this is jsut for the rears the fronts will only be 6 to 6.5 inch.

and yes i have done a seacrh for this topic, but can't find info on standard wheel offsets.

I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
