Non sono mai riuscito a capire le loro misure: 4+3 dovrebbe essere un +3 cm per lato, sbaglio? Di quanto lo hai allargato?
Di seguito inserisco la spiegazione della DWT stessa per le loro misurazioni:
Wider Offset is a common expression for a wheel with the same overall width, but a center location that makes the Vehicle wider (or narrower). In our part numbering system, a typical description will look something like “10×5 (2+3)” That is a 10” diameter x 5” wide wheel. The (2+3) indicates the offset, with 2” being the inside part. The thing to remember is the SMALLER the first number in ( ), the wider your Vehicle will be.
A wider Vehicle is generally more stable. A narrower Vehicle increases rollover tendencies, but will operate in tighter quarters.
A different offset wheel is an inexpensive way to widen or narrow the overall stance. It is a way to add stability (wider) or improve clearance on narrow trails or trailers (narrower).
A word or two of caution is now appropriate: Changing offset will change the way your Vehicle behaves, and affect the load on other components. If you try to narrow the Vehicle, you could run into clearance problems with suspension components. Widening the Vehicle with offset will generally increase steering effort and stress on ball joints, bearings, etc.
Il 4"+3" vuol dire che il cerchio misura di canale 7 pollici complessivi e va suddiviso in 4" interno mozzo e 3" esterno mozzo........inoltre il rapporto di leva che viene generato dall'allargamento della carreggiata potrebbe influire negativamente sullo sterzo, indurendolo e stressando tutte le componenti chiamate in causa.
In pratica è la traduzione "maccheronica" di quello che hai riportato tu.
