Wheel backspacing

Was wondering if anyone knows or has a pic of what a 20x10 with a +2 offset would look like. Would it be a deep dish wheel or a shallow wheel?

Re: Wheel backspacing

Found a picture, the 20x10 is the one on the left, and the one on the right is a 19x8. They 20 has a 5.25 backspace like I said above. The +2 offset would have 1/4" less lip..

Re: Wheel backspacing

according to how I was taught to convert offset to back space, a +2 offset would be half of the wheel width(5 inches) plus 2mm ( just over 1/16th of an inch) for a total backspace of @ 5 1/16".....
is this not correct?
