Reply to "Help me choose my new wheels"

Interesting, by my calculations the offset of your rear wheels is 19mm. When I do the math, the factory wheels (-6mm offset) with a 285mm P7 should be inset within the wheel house identical to a 335 with 19mm offset. You wrote earlier you wanted the 335 "slightly" more inset.

How much more is "slightly", any idea? (3mm = 1/8")

My previous rear tires, 325mm, where flush with the fender edge with 12mm offset, they could have used being inset at least 3mm in order to achieve that "exposed at the belt line" look. A 335mm should be flush with 17/18mm offset, and inset with 21/22mm.

Perhaps my calculation is wrong (based on calculated backspace verses measured backspace). Has American republic wheels ever quoted an offset value? 22mm perhaps?

If not, could I talk you into measuring your new wheels?
