Used to understand this a lot better than I do now it seems. When dealing in offsets, my car currently has a 10in wide wheel with a + 22mm offset. If I bought a wheel that was 10" wide and had a +25mm offset, I am moving the wheel outside lip 3mm closer to the outside of the car correct?

Also if I bought a wheel with a 10.5" wide but the same 22mm offset I would moving the wheel 1/2 of the .5" (6mm) closer to the outside of the car correct?

Increased positive offset brings the wheel further inside the fender.

You are correct about the change with the wider wheel of same offset.

Oh ok. So if I wanted to have a wider wheel but keep the wheel in the same spot relative to the outside fender I'd want something that's an increased positive camber of the same value of 1/2 the size increase.

Thanks. Appreciate it.
