considering different wheels

[Picturepro]

and looking at a 20x8.0 44mm offset, Flex wheel

 

Is 39mm to 44mm much to consider??

 

39mm = 1.5354331inches Flex

44mm = 1.7322835 inches Edge

 

0.2 inch

 

39mm offset would make it closer to center of vehicle

 

thanks

Hi Picturepro. :D MOFSTEEL is correct. Assuming both wheels are the same width (you must know width and offset to accurately measure), the lower the (positive) offset the further from the center of the car the wheel is pushed out.

 

For example, if both wheels are 8.0" wide, old offset being +44 and new being +39, the new wheel will be 5 mm further from the center of the car AKA closer to the fenders. In this case, if both wheels are 8.0" wide, the new wheels will fit, since 5 mm would make no difference.

 

You can use this handy online tool to get correct calculations: LINK: Wheel Offset Calculator Just plug in current/new wheel widths and offsets.

 

Also, as MOF mentioned, be sure the wheels you are purchasing/ordering have a usable centerbore.

 

Hope this information helps.

 

Good luck. :beerchug:

this wheel? the center hub does not fit? according to the above post wheels chart the tire will be .43" further out, the stock tire is just at the edge of the fender now.

Thinking?.....

 

with the flex 39mm offset and running a 255/50/20 or 265/50/20 want to fill up the wheel well a little

 

the dealer has a edge with 245/50/20 not enough rubber to fill in wheel well without lowering springs

 

 

 

 

of the center is board out will that allow the cap to just fall out after a bump?

sorry cooking dinner and posting mixed with poor writing skills.

 

3.4 mill out the center of the all wheels. then the Edge center cap will fit and the stock Flex will be 3.4 loose

 

if I can find someone to do it correctly in So Cal still like to do it, great looking Flex wheel

I'm not sure If I posted this in another thread, but I figure this converstaion is kina where I am looking to find my answers so I'll ask here:

 

What about a wheel with a +50mm offset? if it is a 19x8.5 wheel with that large of an offset, will it work on the Edge or will it be too close to the inside of the wheel well?

 

the wheels I'm questioning are actually off of a Mustang that I want to know if they can be used on an Edge or not. Thanks.
