Why is this stickied? The only informative part is the OP, everything after is strictly ignorance, and obviously a miscommunication.

Rotordad is incorrect. If everyone had been talking about negative offset rather than positive he would have been correct. I'm giving him the benefit of doubt and assuming his logic was simply confused, and he's not a total tard. If spacers were sold as negative sizes maybe it wouldn't be so confusing.

IE: -10 offset used with a 10mm spacer would put you at a -20mm offset (neg 20mm offset that is). 10+10=20

Ted seems to be tired of ignorance, and is getting a bit grumpy. I believe he should go surfing and get recentered.

Grumpy or not, I think Ted's initial post to this thread (#3) with the attached wheel offset illustration, was the most useful nugget of information in this entire thread. A picture is often worth 1000's of words, and in this case, the picture clearly explains the concept of wheel offset so well that any dunderhead can understand it. I hope the mods don't decide to edit that one out of this thread.

How exactly am I incorrect? You even stated that he might have been confused right? Okay well that says to me he was incorrect, if he was confused asking a question or listening to someone with the right idea would be a good thing.

Your reading comprehension is obviously lacking.

Momma always said, "If everyone in the room thinks that you are ignorant, do not open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Pictures?

You are a funny guy! First off you said I was incorrect in my post, what exactly was incorrect? Again you said you "ASSUME" his logic was simply confused. That doesn't change the fact that in his argument with TED he was wrong. 2nd in my post I had never directed my comment towards any particular person, all I had stated was not to provide incorrect info. So was I incorrect to suggest that correct info be posted, so that people that didn't understand got the right understanding?
