Wheel offset guide (for 1/10 scale cars)
HPI offers a variety of wheel designs in different offsets. Using wider offset wheels (more than 0mm offset) effectively widens the width of the car (measured at outer edges of tyres, where they touch the ground). This allows you, in many cases, to fit a ‘wide’ or 200mm wide bodyshell on a ‘narrow’ or 190mm wide chassis. See below for a general guideline on how to match up bodyshells, car chassis and different offset wheels. Keep in mind that body widths will vary, a ‘narrow’ bodyshell can be from 185-195mm, for example!

For 190mm wide bodyshells on 190mm wide cars:
• Use 0mm offset wheels on the front and rear for a ‘normal’ street look.
• Try 3mm offset wheels to widen the stance of the car and bring the wheels closer to the edges of the body wheel openings.

For 200mm wide bodyshells on 190mm wide cars:
• Use 3mm offset wheels on the front and rear for a ‘normal’ street look.
• Try 6mm offset wheels to widen the stance of the car and bring the wheels closer to the edges body wheel openings.

For 190mm wide bodyshells on 200mm wide cars:
• Use 0mm offset wheels on the front and rear, anything with more offset may force the tyres to rub on the bodyshell (1mm offset wheels will probably be fine).

For 200mm wide bodyshells on 200mm wide cars:
• Use 0mm offset wheels on the front and rear for a ‘normal’ look.
• Try 3mm offset wheels to widen the stance of the car and bring the wheels closer to the edges of the body wheel openings. For bodyshells that are noted as having 210mm rear width, use 6mm offset wheels.
