Positive offset is when it's mounted more towards the front of the rim, making the wheel more inboard in relation to the hub (like most frontwheel drive cars..). I hope this makes sense. I believe the Tirerack.com has something about this in the wheels section. Wheel Tech - Offset
More negative offset would make the rim go away from the wheel wells.
No problem about the old axle, I thought it might be illuminating to what's going on.

I checked with my Detroit wheel guy today and he said that I should be ok. However, he said that if I needed more clearance to go with the negative offset rim............thanks very much...............toastie
