Incorrect offsets or offset alterations can cause many problems, so it\u2019s very important to know what\u2019s best for your car.\u00a0 If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at 1-800-896-7467 or visit our website at OriginalWheels.com.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for visiting<br \/>\nLuz<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of our factory original rims-like the Lincoln Mark Series wheels or the Audi A6 rims -show an offset measurement and many of you might be wondering what exactly that is.\u00a0 Most people are unaware of the effect on performance that could occur with a wrong wheel offset.\u00a0 So, what is wheel offset?\u00a0 It\u2019s simply [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[48,7,47,6],"class_list":["post-89","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wheels-information","tag-rim-offset","tag-rims","tag-wheel-offset","tag-wheels"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What is the Offset on my Used Wheels ?
