Work equip offset indicator
Hey y'all,
Looking into grabbing a set of old school work equip 5spoke wheels. The set is in a 17/8, 17/9 package. Problem is, the seller doesn't know the offset. Where should I direct him to look on this specific 2 piece model?
Any help would be great

They're 3 piece wheels, and unless they're original and not rebuilt then it should say right on the inside. But since mine were rebuilt my offsets and widths were incorrect.
You can look at mine (since I have 8s and 9s) and go by the size of my lips to judge what your offset might be. Mine is +22 front and rear.

ok so the seller is saying that the offset sticker was removed when he had the wheels painted.
There is about an inch lip in the front, and 2inch's in the back (stagger 8/9)
here are some pics of the wheels off kijiji

Thanks for the help Tyler, but im pretty sure these are 2 piece..... correct me if im wrong.
After checking your set, they deff are not as aggressive as yours, so depending on whether i pick them up, i might need spacers in the front.

Your right Tyler ,my apologies on them being 3 piece. Yet again though, im torn, these are the rims i want, however, the offset isnt aggressive enough, and after seeing your badass set, i think im gonna hold out for some better sizes
Thanks all for the help

I always laugh at widebodies with x7 / x8 or something wimpy that can fit in a stock body with the right offsets. I forget who it is (rotordad?) that has a LEGIT widebody with some 305 width rears or something like that.

Until I roll my fenders a teeny bit, I can't fit the right sized tires on even with my offsets. I'm stretching a little bit (I hate stretched tires btw) for now, so hopefully this weekend I'll find the time to roll em, so I can actually get some beefyness goin on.

yes i understand this, however all the spacers in the world cant change a 1 1/2 inch rear lip. always loved a good amount of lip.lol My vision is stock body influenced so an extreme amount would just look stupid imo (on stock body)

F-225/40
R-235/40
I rolled & pulled the front fenders a bit but haven't done the rears yet. The tires came with the rims but I am going to get wider tires for the rears.
