I am assuming that I need to move the new wheel in by .5" (since they are zero offset) to achieve the same track as I have currently. So, I would need to order 1" spacers to replace the 1.5" I'm using now.
Does that sound like a reasonable calculation?
I believe what Doug said is not what you were asking and therefore incorrect in this case....unless I am the one that is misunderstanding your question.
Sorry Jeff.......your statement is NOT correct...
Hussein was very clear. He wanted to retain the SAME TRACK as he currently has. Of course "track" is defined as the distance from the centre of the tire tread on one side to the centre of the tire tread on the other side. If you dont believe me just google it. Thus of course changing to a wider wheel with the same offset will NOT affect the track !!!
Therefore..if Hussein wished to "achieve the same track as i currently have" - he would retain his current spacer. My statements were correct.....
Yes...of course....this would result in the tread of the tire being in exactly the same place as before. Of course the outer edge of the wheel itself - and the bead area of the tire - will now be 1/2" further outboard. Really just a visual thing and no change to tire/fender clearance.
