Hi Dave,
The wheels are made by Panasport. The
"Back Spacing" in 4 1/4 inches (different from offset) and the width is 7
inches. As a side note, most of the wheel manufacturers are getting away
from using the term "wheel offset" since people get confused about postive
offset vs. negative offset and how to measure the offset etc. Instead, the
manufacturers want to know the width of the rim and the back spacing. Back
spacing is the distance from the mounting surface of the hub (that point where
the inside mounting surface of the rim meets the outside mounting surface
of the hub) to the inside edge of the rim. If they have the width of the
rim and the back spacing, then the off set is already defined using whatever
method they use.
