The Pony R wheels come in two main offsets. A stock offset for stock style rotors and axles. These can be 4 or 5 lug. The higher offset wheels are typically intended for longer rear axles and/or taller rotors/spindle setups that push the wheels out toward the curb. The higher offset allows the face of the wheel to stay in the same place. Below we have information about different brake/suspension setups and the recommended offsets to be used with our Pony R for proper fitment.

As a side note, for the same width wheels, if one wheel has a higher offset, it will also have a deeper backspacing.
