I was looking at wheels in the Hyper Rev R34 mag, and all the wheels say things like..

18 x 9.5 + 12 (Volk TE37s)

So what's the +12 mean?

BTW, standard R34 rims are 18x9.0+30 and weigh 9.3kg

?

So does nobody know that the +xx numbers are?

 

[Bean]

I realise this is very late, but aren't the + numbers the offset from the centre line of the wheel and the mounting hub ?

 

[Alan]

I also think it is the offset as when I was looking for wheels for my GTO I had to look for +22 or above as advised by Motorsport wheels

 

[DCD]

Its the offset in mm

 

[Joss]

Tar

but the offset of what in relationship to what?

Offset.

Joss,

The offset dimension is between the bolting face of the rim to the rim center line.
