Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Wheels & Tires compare E1 offset to SVT Focus offset

I posted this question in a thread on the 17" Focus wheels and didn't get an answer.

If I moved from E1 16" wheels to Focus 17" ones, would the wheel's outer face be more in or out than stock?

I understand offset measurements, but when that mixes in with width of wheel I'm lost.

Thanks,
