Posted by Sidney B. Nice 91 750 iL on January 20, 2002 at 09:36:42:

For some time now I have been looking to upgrade/replace my existing 15" basketweave/cross-spoke OEM wheels with newer style 15" wheels. I have not had much luck. So I am now looking at 16" wheels. I am not curerently interested in anything bigger that 16". Also want all 4 to be the same size so that I can rotate them.

Will a 16x8 with 25mm offset fit my 91 750iL?
What size tires could I put on the 16x8s with 25mm offset?

I am not sure how the offset number works.
Comparatively speaking does it make sense to say
10mm offset = more wheel towards center of car
and
30mm offset = more wheel away from center of car

Is this correct or do I have it backwards?
