Thanks to the folks who have explained that the offset
of various wheels is given in WHOLE millimeters. It
is now obvious that my "plan" to use the -134 (mm)
KMD Rock Star wheels as the drive wheels in an attempt
to equalize front and rear track is ill-conceived. I
had thought that the offset measurement "must" be in
tenths of millimeters (-13.4 and +11.1 mm). That would
have been a difference of only 24.5mm or just under
one inch for each side. My bad!
I will have to use the same +111 (mm) offset wheels
front and rear.
Therefore, I'd like to know size and source(s) for the
wheel spacers to move the drive wheels out to do this.
I think I'll order the second pair or rear wheels today.
I am undecided whether to install the "star" hubcaps or
leave them off. They were installed by Discount Tire on
the first pair of rears, but extend the possible contact
point about 1.5 inches beyond the wheel, but perhaps
only .5 inches beyond the lugnuts. Maybe not enough to
really worry about. Shan Rose bought the "black" wheels
but I went with the chrome finish. Shan showed pics both
with and without the "star" hubcaps. I'll have them leave
off the hubcaps on the wheels to install later this week
and see which way I want to go from that point.
T.I.A.
