24/40mm offset wheels

Someone remind me again which is which. 24mm offset sticks out further than 40mm or other way around?

I'm ordering up 20" razors tomorrow and want to be sure of how I want it to look.

I want the rear to sit out a tad bit further than the front for a lil offset. Does anyone have an idea how much more it will sit out with the diff offset front to rear?

Take a look here for some Ideas.

This is also a good link that will give you an idea of how changing the offset will make the wheel look different.

I do realize that was my thread, but I was never 100% satisfied that anyone really knew which made them stick in or out..(ie, the 24 or 40mm offset). lol..

Thanks for the other link though..very good.

The 24mm offset is the one that will stick out and 40mm is tucked in..

Thank You. Was confused given the spacing is more on the 40mm.

GPSstang06 posted about both offsets of razors on his car (24mm in the rear and 40mm in the front).

Steeda, Saleen Rousch and Shelby all run about a 45mm offset. 24mm offset is right for an SN95.

Sorry, I didn't even notice that was your post. I wasn't trying to be a Smart A$$.

The 24mm offset will give the rim more of a "Deep Dish" look and push the tire out closer to the edge of the fender. The 40mm offset will pull the tire in closer to the center of the car. I would only be worried if your car is lowered that the 40mm offset could rub the outer fender. But that all depends on how "lowered" your car is.


Good luck with the purchase the Razors look great on these cars.

Thumbs up

Mine are +24mm and, to reiterate what the other guys have said, yes that pushes them right out to the edge of the wheelarch. Mine's lowered on FRRP springs and I have no issues

What's the width of the wheels that you are looking to run?

Only if you go with a 305 tire or wider on a wheel that has 40mm offset, there's more clearance with a 40mm offset than the 24mm. one will be limited to the tire size that could be used with a 24mm offset since the wheel will stick out closer to the fender.

Nice and Clean Paul.

Thanks guys for all the info. Will be getting em tossed on tomorrow. Appreciate all the pics, etc. I went w the 24mm offset in rear and 40mm in front w 275 all around. Wont be able to rotate but I can always have the tires torn down and swapped front to rear if the rears get low on rubber.
