I am confused on how to tell the offset of a front wheel. I am trying to get some deep dish fronts, Wheels which will be wider on the outside and more narrow on the inside which will show more of the caliper.
My question is: on a 3:2 offset, does it mead 3in on the outside of the wheel, 2in on the inside of the wheel? If so, then a 4:1 offset would be as wide of a wheel you could buy, leaving only 1in on the inside?
Or is it the reverse, with a 3:2 offset meaning 3in on the inside and 3in on the outside?
This has perplexed me for sometime and I want to get it cleared up. I like the look of the deep dish fronts, and want to get a set of them for my bike. Just got to figure out what to order!
Thanks ahead for the replies and sorry for the dumb***** question.
