Question:
Trying to match up my existing wheels, but dont know the offset ? how can I measure this etc ? Part Numbers: AM92NR, TA35ZR, and AM22461 look like a match but I want to make 100 and sure of the offset... Please advise.

Hey Robert,
To find your offset you'll need to measure from the mounting surface of your lugs to both outer edges of your current wheels. A negative offset will move the tire further away from the trailer while a positive offset brings the tire closer.
I'm adding a photo to further help demonstrate this, but basically the wheels you're looking at will sit this closer/further away than a 0 offset wheel where the mounting surface is right in the middle:
- Americana # AM92NR sits 0.5" closer to the trailer
- Taskmaster # TA35ZR sits 0.08" closer to the trailer
- Americana # AM22461 sits 0.5" further away from the trailer

Hey Robert, how did your offset measurements turn out when you compared your current wheels to the Americana and Taskmaster options? Knowing which one lined up best could help others trying to match their wheels too.
