Panasport Racing Wheels 14x7

I think it may just be the photograph that makes the wheels look like they're different diameter.

 

It also may be helpful to list the backspacing/offset? Typically this may be written on the wheel "14x7 - ___" or can easily be measured.

 

So what you're saying is two of the wheels have the bolt spacing 4x100 and the other two are 4x114.3? This makes it tricky to sell because not many cars use two different bolt spacings.

Ruadhd2,

 

Turn the wheels over so the mating face to the hub is facing up. Place a straight edge across the bead (use a level) and measure from the face of the wheel to the bottom of the straight edge and that is the offset for the wheel.

Hope this helps.

 

Skip is correct I have told you how to find the back space. The offset is the distance the wheels center matting face is from the center line of the wheel and can be either negative or positive. Measure the distance from bead to bead to find the width of the wheel then measure the distance from the rear bead to the mating face and then thak half the width of the rim and subtract the distance from the wheel center and you should have the offset in either positive or negative. below is a picture that explanes it much better than I can.

Clarified backspace and offset.

I think you have back space mixed up with offset. Offset is the distance between the center line of the rim (width wise) and the mating surface. Negative offset being towards the face of the wheel and positive offset being towards the back side.

 

My Caterham has an offset of 20mm. If it had a backspace of 20mm the wheels would be really deep dish and hanging out mostly beyond the wings.
