whats your question? offset or tire size? offset is the distance from the center line of the wheel to the mounting surface. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

please read the information in the wheel/tire/suspension forum. you may need spacers to fit your wheels if you ordered too high an offset. those are some very narrow tires btw too.
