there is no such thing as tire offset. there is however, wheel offset. what it is, is the difference between the hub-to-wheel contact versus the midway between the inboard and outboard tire beads. these two planes are seldom on the same plane. the midway of the wheel is more towards the center of the vehicle to reduce tire scrub radius and to put the weight more on the inner wheel bearing than the outer wheel bearing. your tire size change is okay. the front tires more than likely will not rub against the suspension nor the inner fender well

offset -- yung lubog ng gitna ng rim

pag kulang ang lubog may tatamaan pag lumiliko

pag sobra ang lubog lalampas ang gulong sa fender pangit tingnan

positive offset



negative offset
