Do These Two Wheel Dimensions ....

...put the tire in same position in fender well? All the measurements are the same except
one wheel has neg12mm off-set with 4" back space..the other has 0 off-set with 4.50 back space..If not, which wheel will put more tire toward the curb?

[Kennuck]

depends on the wheel width

wheel drawing with -12mm off-set with 4" back space..If you move the mounting plate to 0 off-set won't that give you 4.50" back space?

The one with less backspace.

I misunderstood your question. The 4.0 backspace will put more tire to the curb.

Actually the negative offset on the smaller backspace will put the outside edge pretty close to the other. I think they will be so close you won't notice a difference.

If both had zero offset then the 4 back space would move the outer lip out, but negative offset of 12mm (a bit smaller than .5) will pull the outer lip back in.
