An offset of 45mm means the wheel's mounting surface is 45mm away from its centerline. Changing this value drastically can affect suspension geometry and wheel bearing wear on your Ford.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy Wheels

- Confirm bolt pattern carefully. 5x114.3 is often confused with other common 5-lug patterns.
- Torque lugs in a star pattern to 80 ft-lbs (108 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).
