Offset required for 8" wheels

Howdy,
I have a friend shopping for 8" steel wheels. Anyone know for sure what offset is required on the 150?

Hello Gordon,

Lots of posts here about 8 inch wide wheels, 17 * 8 at +10mm is perfect for the 150.

Rim clearance isn't really the issue. Tyre size is.

150 offset is +25. Legally maximum track increase is 25mm. This means that you can reduce your offset by half that = 12.5mm. So it means that leagally, you can go down to +12.5mm offset.

Hello Amts and Gordon,

You can go out to +15 mm (GX standard offset) less 12.5 mm (rules maximum) and you comply with the rules. This will allow you to go to +2.5 mm offset legally.

+10 mm offset keeps the tread just inside the mudguards.
