I could be wrong but I think offset and backspacing are two different things. For instance. Hypothetically speaking, if you had a 10" wide wheel and you had a zero offset it would actually be a 5" backspace. I'm just looking for backspacing. I want to go with a 9.5" wide wheel with, say a 5 1/4 - 5" backspace and was wondering what it looked like ie. dish vs.tuckedness(is that a word?)Thanks for the reply.
