Q: What is the meaning of wheel offset?

Wheel offset refers to the distance between the wheel’s mounting surface (the area where the wheel attaches to the hub) and the centerline of the wheel. There are three types: positive, negative, and zero offset. The offset affects how the wheel sits in relation to the fender and suspension components.
