    -50 offset is almost 2" (1.96") off the center of the wheel... that's hell on the wheelbearings, balljoints, etc.... that's 12" wheel with 4" of backspacing! Damn!!

    How can that be? I'm not doubting you on what the sticker says but 50mm is 1.96" which equals 4.04" of backspacing on a 12" wheel... unless the wheel actually measures 11" and some change

    the wheel actually measures 13 wide, from bead to bead (where you measure for TRUE wheel width) is 12'' ..

    13/2 is 6.5.

    6.5 - 2(offset)

    = 4.5 (backspacing.)

    you use OVERALL width of wheel to find offset/backspacing not the bead to bead "wheel width"
