When you get steel wheels banded does the offset usually go lower, stay the same or can you choose what you want?

You can choose dude. Depending on how the banding is done the ET doesn't have to change at all.

only a proper welder can do that.

normaly they get widend to the outside, the inches youre wider, is X2,54 and that goes off the offset.

so if youre offset is 49, you widen the wheels by 2 inch..

2x2,54=5.08. so thats 50,8mm.

49-50.8= et -1.8

but surely if the banding goes on the outside it wouldnt change the et hub distance?

Offset is measured from the centreline of the wheel

Wheel width of 5 inches et 0 has a centreline and hub at 2.5" into the wheel

You widen these by, 5 inches (oh yes lol) by putting a 5 inch band on the outside of the wheel

New wheel width is 10 inches, but the hub is still 2.5" into the wheel from the inside, so the ET is now -2.5" or 63.5mm

Ja lol can read it pretty well, understand it when people speak to me in it but when i speak it back have to wait for ten minutes for them to stop laughing!

After some 235/35/19"s but fitting is a pain round here they want 20euro a wheel to fit own supplied tyres!
