Wheel Offset Calculator

Compare a current wheel and a new wheel by width and ET to see exactly how inner clearance, poke and track width will change.

  • Wheel pokes outward — check fender clearance and local fender-cover laws.

How offset works

Positive ET: mounting face is outboard of the wheel centerline. The wheel tucks under the fender — common on FWD and modern cars.

Lower or negative ET: mounting face moves inboard, pushing the wheel and tire outward. Track width grows and the stance becomes more aggressive, but inner geometry is unchanged on a same-width wheel.

Wider wheel, same ET: extra width is split equally inward and outward. You gain poke and lose inner clearance — which is why aggressive widths usually need an ET increase to avoid rubbing the strut.
