Standard sierra wheel offset
Hey Up,
I've often seen the wheel offset for the Sierra quoted as being ET38 or thereabouts, The question is:-
Is that Positive or Negative?
And is positive where the centre of the wheel is further out than the mounting face or vice versa?
Thank you so much
Chris

Hi,
Virtually all cars have positive offset, Sierra is 35/38 from memory.
This link should explain the difference between negative and positive.

It has been quoted on here that Sierra offset is 35 - 38mm and if it is outside the wheel centre it is positive, inside of the wheel centre it is
negative.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
