Offsets

[sturb25]

My misses wants to buy a set of mags for her pulsar and they are offset p38. What does this mean and how do i find out if they will fit?

Ok thats a pretty good website, pretty handy and all but still leads the question. how do i find out what offset her wheels are and different offsets wheel may fit her car that are different to her standard offset. Is there a way that i can easily measure to get clearances and find out her offset.

What model pulsar, what size are the std wheels, what width are the mags? Offset is only useful if you know how wide the wheel is.

that link i posted shows yo how to measure offset. its the distance from the centre of the wheel to the hub. once you know the offset and width of the standard wheel, then use the calculator and it will tell you want you want to know

if they are stock wheels, just google the specs

what width are the new ones? And which model pulsar?

for what it's worth, I'm pretty sure the wheels I had on my old n15 hatch were 17x7+38, and there were no scrubbing issues or anything

Its a 2003 N16 pulsar and all i know about it is that they are 185/65 R15's and the measurement between studs are 81mm centre to centre if thats any help

The ones shes looking at are 15inch x 6.5 multistud alloy wheels

4 x 100/114.3 suit most small cars

offset p38

They would fit easy, but would look a little weak even on a pulsar.
