    Offset: 0mm
    Backspacing: 4.5"

    Their measurements don't add up.
    In my world, an 8" rim width, with 4" backspacing = 0 offset...

    Sorry Dubster, but check the polarity of your batteries in your calculator. An 8" rim width, with 4.0" backspacing = Negative Twelve (-12) Offset. The posted measurements of the wheels are correct as stated; an 8" rim width, with 4.5" backspacing = Zero (0) Offset.

    See "Offset Chart" in the link below:

    Well...if you say so, but take this from the link that you posted

    "Zero Offset
    The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel."


    Then YOU crunch the numbers.

    Last I checked, 1/2 of 8 = 4.

    Should not an 8" rim with zero offset have 4" backspacing...

    Then go back & give that chart another look...
