A 25mm offset would work also. The larger the offset the more the wheel will tuck up under the fender. It really comes down to how much you want the wheel sticking out from under the fender. If you're adding a larger wheel such as an 18x9 then that is already 2" more than the OEM 7" wheel so to counter that some people go with a larger offset (or backspacing) so the wheel doesn't stick out so far. Some people however actually like their wheels sticking out past the fender more.

hey guys im about to buy some new wheels on ebay, but I want to make sure they will work. I asked the seller about the offset, you guys say 30mm and the wheels are 25mm. the seller said:

Offset is very important.

The offset of a wheel is what locates the tire and wheel assembly in relation to the suspension. More specifically, it is the measured distance between the hub mounting surface and the center line of the rim. Below is an explanation of the various types of offsets.

Positive Offset
The wheels in this auction have a 25mm positive offset. A positive offset occurs when the hub mounting surface is on the street side (the side you see) of the center line of the rim. Most factory rims will have this type of offset.


SO the question is, will these work on my 06 ford f-150?
