Wheel spacing? Offset? Confused?

Ocean Pantsuit · Nov 30, 2020

I have some questions on wheel spacing. I am looking at wheels, and I see info on offset and rim width. So my question is this, If a rim was 10mm offset and 7.5in width, where would the inside of the wheel be? I believe that's called backspacing. I then want to know the same for a wheel with 13mm offset and 7.0in width. How do you determine where the back of the wheel will be in relation to the mount? I'm new to the mod world, please, no smart ass comments, I want to learn. I want to do larger tires, and I want to understand the relationships in offset to tires please.

Use this site to calculate "poke" works best when compared to your current setup. Edit: yes, mounting surface to rear wheel face is BS (backspace)
