Can the Haval H9 be modified with -13 offset wheels?
1 Answers
No, there are significant differences between positive offset wheels and negative offset wheels. Positive offset wheels: Since the wheel mounting surface faces outward, the tire's force application point is biased toward the outer side of the wheel center point, providing a more reasonable balance in terms of load capacity and traction (for soft-axle vehicles). The most important point is that positive offset wheels can be partially concealed within the vehicle's suspension components, serving a protective function against impacts. Negative offset wheels: The advantages are their attractive and imposing appearance, as well as improved stability. However, they tend to throw more mud and increase suspension impact forces. You can first determine the original wheel's ET value. Then measure the distance between the original wheel's outer side and the fender. If you want a more aggressive look, you can decide to move the wheels outward. This way, you can change from positive offset to negative offset.
