Title: Offset
Post by: Syrag64 on November 01, 2011, 04:35:52 pm

I've searched but can't seem to find the answer  :ashamed:

What is the standard offset on a 17" monza?  is it 7.5"  or 7"?

I've seen some nice Merc wheels but can't use the offset calculator till I have the right size.

Will these fit?

what you're referring to is the wheel WIDTH

the offset is usually preceded by "ET" which is german for something - can't remember what. OEM wheels are 7.5" wide i believe

bolt pattern must be 5x112 (which Merc are i believe). can use the following offset calculator to figure out whether they fit or not:

from calculating from my OEM wheel these will stick out 22mm more. that's pushing it tbh. the wheels i'm after are further out by 15mm and i was led to believe they might rub

best of luck  :happy2:
