HAMMER,the zero offset is just like a stock rim on your van now, the plus 20 means it's offset is toward's the suspension ,not sticking out past the wheelwell. i have plus 15 offset on my rim's which tuck's them into the wheelwell more so they don't hang out and sling debris all over the side of my van.

Thanks! As I'm going to put drop spindels on it, will the pluss 20 affect my turn radius much? Maybe I should go for the zero offset... smile

If it's a 17x8 20+ will run you between 5.25 and 5.5 back space .
I used to have a wheel shop , if i recall we didn't have 20+ just 19 and 25 then . If that is true then it's to much and you will rub up front .
I also think there is a method of adding and subtracting MM to figure out the offstes in basic numbers 19 and 25 in between those but i for get it .
plus 19 = 5.25
plus 25 = 5.5

So what you are saying, is that I should get the ones with zero offset? Yes, they are 17x8's

Yes you need to keep that rim and tire away from the frame zero offset will give you 4.5 back space .

Not quite sure what size rims they are. I know they are 16.5", but I don't know how wide they are.
