| Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone out there would happan to know of the wheel off-set of the wheels on a custom G. All I have found is websites saying it;s 18..20 which I'm not sure if that is mm and it is correct. Anyone have a better idea?
Cheers | |

| Cheers, sorry about that. I have been told today that it's +29mm for the hiace I have which is a 1997 super custom G. Not sure if that's 100% so if anyone could confirm that would be great. | |

| Difference beween the wheel centre line and the hub mounting surface.
a quick google gives lots of links such as this..

| Yeah I dont have an easy way to jack up my van and take the wheel off and check. Plus unless you have those special measuring calipers it;s a bit of a hassel. I found a few web sites, http://mapsltd.co.uk/maps/id36.html I will measure my wheels within the next two days with a sting line  | |

| I still haven't had time to measure it however there seems to be strong evidence it is +35mm. When I get around to it I'll be sure to post it here. I forgot how much better my 17's made the ride.... | |

| I'm curious now myself. I'll try a straight edge, a tape and the spare wheel.
