Wheel Offset Calculator

Calculate inner and outer clearance changes when switching to wheels with different width or offset. Useful for checking fitment before buying new wheels.

Formulas

  • Width change (mm) = (New width - Old width) × 25.4
  • Outer change (mm) = Width change / 2 - (New offset - Old offset)
  • Inner change (mm) = Width change / 2 + (New offset - Old offset)

Positive outer change = wheel sticks out further. Positive inner change = wheel sits closer to suspension/brake components.

Offset changes can affect brake caliper clearance, suspension geometry, and handling. These calculations are estimates only. Always verify fitment with a wheel retailer or installer before purchasing.
