offset question

[esh]

I got 6 stud 14" rims that I drilled. I don't know which car they came from but with a 195/75 tyre and 3" lift they rub at the rear of the guard when turning, just where the mud protector is. I'm not sure how to measure offset but I measured 95 mm from the hub to the edge of the rim (on the outside) and they do look like they stick out a bit. what kind of offset do you guys have? is that to much offset? is it worth bitting/cutting and how to?

Look down the page a bit on the Offroad section (where this post is)

you will find a thread with something to do with stock offset, I posted this in it. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showpost.php?p=495443&postcount=7

 

Stock EA81 or EA82 wheels have 58mm or so offset, I have some Nissan 14" (6" wide, that meesurement is very important when talking about offset) rims that have about 25mm offset, and they are "perfect" just sit inside both front and rear guards on my Brat. I also have some 15"jj6" mags with the same offset, see here.

 

Looks like your rims have a negitive offset (bit that bolts to hub is closer the inside of rim then outside of rim.) Maybe 10mm negitive offset if they were a 6" wide rim? Hard to tell unless you messure them.

a little rubing is more than ok. if you've got more than a little, get out a hammer

You should see what a little rubbing done to my Kumho M/T's Well I guess it wasn't that bad, most of the problem was the smoke that came off them while hitting the gas turning onto a road.
