Difference in backspacing and offset of wheels??

[D Rock]

I know what backspacing on wheels are, but what exactly is offset??

Thanks,

Offset refers to the distance from the centerline of the wheel.

I beleive manufactures use one or the other.

Look in the "Have a Wheel Tech Question?" sticky'd thread at the top of this forum. There's a link in there to a page that details this subject.
