Does Wheel Offset Effect Tire Size?
Wheel offset is a confusing concept for me to grasp for some reason. I'm buying new rims and using my old tires on the new ones. I want to make sure that changing offsets wouldn't make my tire not fit, rather just change how far from the center of the car my tire sits.

tire offset is just how far the tire and rim sit outside or inside ur fenders but as far as using old tires on new offset rims dont see a problem unless u get a offset rim and 33+ tall tire it will rub when full lock to lock need to trim bottom corners of fenders
