 I'm finally there Glyn....That's why my offset with 10" wide rims don't stick out past the arches (the tyres do though).
Great pictures and a lot of fathoming as to where the hell I was going wrong. It was the relationship between the 'moving' centre of the wheel (dependant on offset) the final position of the wheel on the hub and the fixed hub I was struggling with. Doh......   If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Awesome
Yes, that is correct
There is a calculator on this site which works out how far your wheels will change by putting the info in: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp Glyn   |

This is also a useful site when considering changing wheels and/or tyre sizes:

This too was a handy tool for me as I was going down an inch in rim diameter but wanted to keep the same rolling radius so my speedo wasn't thrown out....
