sorry to ask this again, but can someone just clear it up for me, for wheels offset, a +45 offset has more lip than a wheel with +41? or is it the other way??

+41 will give you more space to mount "BIG" brakes over the +45, but I think the wheel design will have more to do with how much more lip there is, besides you're talking only 4mm, what's that like an 1/8 of an inch?

lex430

assuming same wheel design, or just wheels in general, according to what you said, +41 allows for bigger brakes, which is on the inside of the wheel, so my outside lip (the visible side) will be smaller?? am i correct?

lex,

kind of yes and no:eek: some wheels that is of same design, but with different offsets, say +35 v +42, have the exact same lip size..as johnny said, the +42 one is made with larger space to fit bigger breaks..

will,

reason why i am asking is if I get the same wheel with +45 offset, would I have bigger lips on mine? cause the shop is recommending +45 for me, and I was just curioius!

Like others have stated, it depends on the wheel. Which wheel are you considering? And what size (diameter and width)

manaray,

I was looking at damnboy's new Work euroline s2h in the other thread, and i was wondering, because someone recommended +45 for the same wheels, would I have more or less lip as compare to +41 like in the picture?

GS4Will

lex430,

actually the euro s2 and the s2h are slightly different, one is more flat on the surface, another has more curve...so they each have different offset for the GS

Check out...

http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/wheels/index/

There are some new wheels on there (Seeker line and a couple new EuroLines)

When you go there, you can click on the wheel and then click on matching...you'll see that offset does not necessarily mean more or less lip. A wheel with a +41 or a +45 can have the exact same size lip....

Here's a picture of the New Seeker CX

I've 3 inch lip in the front and 3.5 inch in the rear.
Can I call them big?

I think even Euroline S2 and S2H has the same size of lip but the lip of S2 will looks bigger.

D,

in general, i think anything with a 3" lip is quite impresssive. your s2h came out later than the s2, and work has been follwing the latest trend by making as big as lips as possible on their lnew offerings. as a result, the s2 has a bit smaller lip size on the same size wheel, according to my work size chart.

damnboy

Thanks will!
Lip is good

a 3.5" lip is DEEP! That's some serious Angelina Jolie style lips IMO.

i like LIPS too...does not matter which kind..
