Measuring Wheel Offset

To calculate offset you'll need the following measurements:

https://www.rsracing.com/_themes/rstheme1/abstrbu1.gifWheel Width
https://www.rsracing.com/_themes/rstheme1/abstrbu1.gifWheel Center line (outboard flange to inboard flange measurement / 2)
Subtract:

https://www.rsracing.com/_themes/rstheme1/abstrbu2.gifIf backspace is less than the wheel centerline the offset is negative
https://www.rsracing.com/_themes/rstheme1/abstrbu2.gifIf backspace is greater than the wheel centerline the offset is positive
