Wheel Offset

[hotrat]

Why is it that when i look up a cars wheel offset there are two figures given. It will say for example, offset 35-42. or offset 35 to 42. should it not just be the one figure, anyone know what this is about. thanks.

Here's an example of what i mean, two figures for the offset. i guess i'll need to read up on how to get the offset from the wheel i'v got on the car. thanks all. http://www.alloywheels.com/BMW-X5-Series-E53-Alloy...

A bottom of the range model on steel wheels will have a different offset to the top of the range on optional 19's... Hence the two figures.

Would go with that.

I used bmw as a example the car i'm after is a mr2, i was to embarrassed to say but can't find Toyota on there. i'll do what Fingers says and look on a standard rim for it's offset and if i want to dish it out 10mm from standard then i will take 10mm off the standard offset when i order the wheels, if you know what i mean. asking more than telling lol
