Wheel Offset & Backspacing Explained by Landan with LMR.

When you follow manufacturers’ specifications on offset and backspacing, you can have improved handling, less stress on suspension components, and even wider wheel widths can be installed for the highly sought-after staggered look on your Ford Mustang or other vehicles!

THE THREE TYPES OF OFFSET
Negative Offset: The hub mounting surface is closer to the back portion of the wheel. This will result in greater clearance for aftermarket suspension and provide you with a wider overall stance.

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

Positive Offset: The hub mounting surface is closer to the face of the wheel. This will result in extra fender and quarter panel clearance to help eliminate tire rubbing problems.

Backspacing is measured from the back portion of the wheel to the hub surface of the wheel, where it bolts to the car. Backspacing is always measured in inches and is closely related to the offset, meaning, that when you change one, it immediately affects the other.
