Ben,   The outer face of the wheel is on the left. This diagram is what you'd see if you were kneeling down in front of the car and looking at the driver's side wheel.   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ben C Sent: Thursday, 22 August 2002 9:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: oh no not another wheel question :) and Nice Link provided hmm, maybe im looking at the diagram wrong...which is the front (the side you see when they are on the car)?? the side with D or the side with C ??? ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Pronios To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 7:43 PM Subject: Re: oh no not another wheel question :) and Nice Link provided No Ben. B+C is the Backspace.   A very nice page describing the dimensions of a rim can be found at:   http://www.usacomp.com/Offset.htm     Chris     ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben C To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 3:23 AM Subject: Re: oh no not another wheel question :) i thort D (which i added) was backspace??? ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Pronios To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Chris Pronios Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 6:43 PM Subject: Re: oh no not another wheel question :)   |         .         | |         .         | |\        .         | |  \      .         | |    \    .         | |     |   .         | | D   | B.    C   | |     |   .         | |     |   .         | |    /    .         | |  /      .         | |/        .         | |         .         | |        A         |     A = overall rim width B = Offset B+C = backspace.     Chris          ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Little To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 6:33 AM Subject: RE: oh no not another wheel question :) yeah thanx for that Terry. I am not sure what the last measurement is but it seems pretty important when fitting bigger calipers.. I read the article and it was fairly informative. Thankyou. the offset is the difference of the backspace and total rim width? with the centre of the rim being 0 offset??? So if i have an offset which pushes the mounting point of the hub/wheel further out from the car it means the wheel may touch the strut etc, however if i go the other way the wheel may touch the guards? The problem i have now is finding a wheel with a centre mounting point which is raised above the front of the wheel. So i can mount a caliper which will not touch on the front of the rim's face. Know of any off the top of your head Terry? cheers again   --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
