Wheel Offset Discussion

Hello All

I just want to say, I love the recent 0.5.1 update that allows you to put almost any wheel onto any car. It is incredibly fun to see how hard a Sunburst can launch with 14 inch drag wheels+tyres on the rear. But I'm running into a few issues here and there.

It seems to be particularly with I suppose you'd clasify them as "Japanese" cars (I.e. Covet, Sunburst, Pessima(s) (1988 model is more prone to it, haven't really gave the 90's model a real go), 200BX etc. where only wheels manufactured by the ingame companies will fit inside the arches. This may seem incredibly silly at first. But for instance. Almost anything made by for example Alder will not fit underneath the arches of a Sunburst, Covet etc. But will fit almost anything else. And Some other wheels are a little bit of a lottery as well. For example the Hiroshi SBR2 19x11s will fit any car it can be bolted on to with minimal fuss. Maybe a track width adjustment here and there.

I'm wondering, Does BeamNG simulate different manufacturers wheel offsets ? Like would all the Alder wheels and such have a low positive offset meaning that the scrub angle of the tyre is greater because the tyre makes a bigger arc as it turns the corner. Where as all the newer Ibishu, Hiroshi etc wheels have a higher positive offset meaning that where the wheel physically bolts to the hub is closer to the outer edge of the wheel thus making a lower scrub radius ?

Is it possible for there to be like a chart that could be made up of what wheels fit onto each car ? By "fit" i mean the wheels fit within the wheelwell and don't extrude past the outer bodywork of the car.?

I know this may be of low significance but it is currently doing my head in at the moment trying to remember which wheels will fit onto what car.

Thanks

As you stated, those are "Japanese" vehicles and Alder wheels are more towards muscle cars/wide cars in my opinion. Generally most people don't use those type of wheels with Japanese vehicles
