aftermarket rim offset .......

[axulsuv]

Found some 17x9 rims that I like , They have a -6mm offset . Do those of you that have changed rims think these would clear everything with no issues ?

It depends on the tire that you are going to run.  The wheel with the -6 will stick out about 46mm (about 1.8 inches) more than stock.

Can you refresh my memory ? Positive offset moves wheel center(mounting surface) to outside of rim , And negative offset gives the deep-dish look , moving the center to the inside of rim ?

Or am I bassackwards ?

 And do we know the offset of the stock wheels ?

Thanks ,

Axul,

 

You are correct. 0 offset is center of the rim.  Negative offset means the mounting point is on the inboard side of the Rim's centerline, Positive means it's on the outboard side.  The NV is +40 stock, so 40mm toward the outboard of the rim's centerline.  If you mounted a wheel with a 0 offset on the NV, it would stick out 40mm more than stock assuming the same size wheel.

 

Also, there are 25.4mm per inch, so 46 mm is 1.8 inches.

Make sure you post a picture of what you go with.  I'm eager to see how it turns out!  I'll probably replace mine as soon as the tires start to wear out a bit...

That's what I'm waiting on too !! :)

• Size: 17x8
• Offset: 19mm
• Backspacing: 5.20"
• Bolt Pattern: 8-165          This    is what I'm thinking about with some Michelin's on them .

The offset should clear the slider with no issue's , I hope ....By my calculations it should only stick out about 21mm more than the stock wheel , and I'll run the stock tire size .

I put this wheel on my van, same make and extremely similar specs. No issues and look great....

[axulsuv]

Cool , I may wait till this one is in stock , 'cause it matches the rims on my bike trailer .... :)

So, how about you guys update with pics of your van with the wheels? I bought some wheels when I bought the van, but I am only lukewarm on them.

Here is a pic of mine. Usually when I load photos they appear upside-down. In that case, just flip your monitor;)

Unless you go with very wide tires, you should not have any difficulty with rubbing.

 

My wheels are 17x8.5 with 10 mm offset. I have GY DuraTrac 245/75/17 on them. The tires clear the sliding door. My van is not lifted.

Chphilo, the stock wheels are flush with the fenders.  Your setup pushes your wheels out 2-5/16 inches, but they still look flush.  How is that?  Can I get a view from the rear?  I'm in the market.
