[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 627480, member: 20098"] Other way round, by adding material to the outside of the wheel, the offset reduces - the centre line of the wheel is now further away from the hub. The Beetle steels have a very high positive offset to start with, I.e. they are quite tucked under the arches. By adding the band, it gives a nice deep-dish look, but by not going too massive, I’ve got no issues getting the wheels off and on. Any wider, and I’d have to deflate the tyre, or pull on the arch to get the tyre past it. Been there, done that with standard BRM alloys, and I wouldn’t do it again!
