I'm looking at a new set of wheels but I am confused about some of the specs. I know some of the offset specs when it is stated as 4+4, but on the new Maxxis wheel for my application it states it as +15, -47. What does that mean?

 

That may be metric or in mm's.

Wider Offset is a common expression for a wheel with the same overall width, but a center location that makes the Vehicle wider (or narrower). In our part numbering system, a typical description will look something like “10 x 5 (2+3)” That is a 10” diameter x 5” wide wheel. The (2+3) indicates the offset, with 2” being the inside part. The thing to remember is the SMALLER the first number in ( ), the wider your Vehicle will be.
