offset Question
#3
If they are 8" wheels, it means they have 3.5" (more or less) backspacing.
-11 means -11 mm and that's just under 1/2". -11 means (if I remember right) 11mm towards the inside (towards the truck) which means that the mounting plates is that much closer to the inside rim -- pushing the wheels further OUT. (If I have that wrong, offset wise folks, correct it, lol)
Offset is a pain because what you USUALLY need is the backspacing which is the distance from the inside of the rim to the mounting plate. That's the measurement that is usually critical REGARDLESS of rim width.

OK, now how does this compare to the normal?
For any given offset, a change in width affects the backspacing as well.
