Big Wheel ***. Wheel guru's please come in

Ok so offsets, staggered, camber, +40......what does this all mean? I used to think that as long as the rims fit thats all that was needed in order to put on your car, but after being on this wonderful site day in and day out i realized i was completely wrong. On the marketplace people dont even want to disclose there offset information, so im guessing this is a a big deal when it comes to rims and tires. Thanks for any input you guys can give me, and if you must......flame on.

I try not to overuse this phrase, but you really do need to use search and google. You should be able to find your answer within minutes, and can become an expert by reading just a little more beyond that.

Additionally, some wheel manufacturers don't release their offsets. Other times, the member just doesn't know what offset they have.
