I'm swapping out the stock wheels on my RAM for some similar sized wheels but changing up the OFFSET. So when doing this and wanting a specific look, like I think most of use are, You need to know what's going to happen when you start picking different offset wheels.
Long story short I'll put it this way......
A Positive Offset (+) will bring the wheel and ultimately the tire closer into the wheel well , closer too the center of the truck... It will suck the Tire into the truck. "Adding" it to the truck.
A Negative Offset (-) will push out the wheel & tire, pushing it further out of the wheel well, away from the center of the truck, repelling the tire from the wheel well, "taking away" the wheel or removing it from the wheel well.
Negative Offset giver you more rubber/wheel outside your wheel well.
Offset measurements are usually given in millimeters so when you see -44 they are referring to 44mm.
Here's a conversion for you to understand:
25.4mm = 1"
Some very common negative offsets you'll see on new wheels are:
-6mm = .23"
-22mm = .86"
-44mm = 1.73"
A lot if not almost all vehicles have a positive offset on factory wheels. This is why when even going to a Zero (0) offset it will push your wheels out from the vehicle. And when you go to a -44mm from let's say a +44 offset like in my case, this would cause the wheels from a stock setting to be pushed out a huge 3.46". That will be a pretty big visual difference.
So Google your Year/Make/Model and use the words Stock wheel or Factory wheel Offset and find out your official starting point on your ride, or even call a good tire shop and they should be able to tell you. Then you can make an educated decision on what your next set of tires and wheels will be and you'll be happier than can be. I love my set up and they were Exactly what I was wanting.
