Wheel Offset Impact? - CoastToToast - 25:th-Jun-2017 Hi all, Very new to the whole wheel/tyre replacement thing. My Astra J (2.0CDTi) is in need of new tyres and I thought I'd contemplate changing up the look in the process. It currently has the factory set fitted (7J x 17 offset 44). I was looking at a set of larger VXR style wheels (8J x 18 offset 42), but just wanted some clarification as to whether these will be a safe fit? I noticed the factory 18" configuration has an offset of 46 and despite searching, I can't seem to determine if the difference will have any negative impact with my level of understanding. Presuming all is good, will the changeover be a straight swap otherwise? Are there any other factors I need to consider? Bar the need for larger tyres, obviously! Thanks a lot! |
