What do you call these?
This is a pretty easy question me thinks, but I have tried every google configuration there is and I cant get a rhit, so I figured Id try here. What do you call rims that go inward instead of outward? Like your tire is tucked under your fender, and your 1 inch away from rubbing on the fender, but behind the tire you have 4-5 inches. There is a certain name for these rims but I can't remember what it is. Thanks for everyones time.

Re: What do you call these?
those are normal, i THINK the ones that stick way out were often referred to as reverse offset. Normal is when the wheel is about even with the wheel lip.

That's what I was thinking but if so he didn't describe them well at all. Maybe if he put up a pic of an example?

I described them as best I could. Like for slicks on the back, your tire/rim is about an inch away from rubbing on the outside(the fender), but on the other side (towards the middle of the car) there are like 3/4 inches before it hits. There is a certain name for the ones that go inward instead of outward. If I had a pic as an example I wouldn't be asking the question in the frst place. But it seems the answer is negative offset.. Thanks

Re: What do you call these?
What you are describing is "Positive Offset", if you have to reach into the rim to get to the hub (lug nuts), that is "Negative Offset".
The example above is Negative Offset.
