OFFSET.

SUITABLE SOLUTION WITH AND

WITHOUT OFFSET.

Offset (ET) of a wheel means the distance between the rim centre and the inner contact plane between
the rim and the hub (or brake drum), measured in millimetres.

A zero offset means that the centre of tyre running surface BPW agricultural axles are usually designed for the appli-
is symmetric with respect to the mounting plane between cation of rims with a zero offset. Rims with offset (positive
the rim and the hub (or brake drum). A positive offset or negative) have a different wheel pressure line resulting
(e.g. + 25 mm) means that the contact plane is displaced in higher load on the respective wheel bearing (positive
outwards in respect to the rim centre. As a result, the track offset – inner bearing, negative offset – outer bearing). In
(SP) is reduced. A negative offset (e.g. - 25 mm) means that certain circumstances this may reduce axle load.
the contact plane (rim flange) is displaced inwards. As a
result, the track is enlarged. Rims with offset should be applied only upon consultation
with BPW
