Offset
The offset is the distance (in millimetres) from the centre of a wheel cross section.
As it moves away from the car the number increases from zero. If it moves in towards the car it will go into minus numbers. This picture is an example of one of the offsets found on the smart, for a full list click here.
Centre Bore
The centre bore is very aptly named, it is the inside diameter of the alloy wheels and the outside diameter of the bearing that the wheel locates over. The 2 have to match for 2 reasons, firstly it centres the wheel on the hub so the wheel isn’t off centre and therefore vibrate. Secondly it holds the wheel in position so the wheel bolts only have to hold the wheel to the hub and not take any sheer force from any lateral movement.
Because the forfour was a re-engineered Mitsubishi Colt, it retained the Colt centre bore which was different to the fortwo and Roadster centre bore.
