Actually for a couple of reasons. One is for our tire carrier. We've had some issues with different backspaced rims working on it so I'm trying to figure out what the "masses" are running at least.

Also for our suspension we are rubbing tires in an extreme condition on our kit but the offset of the wheels the owner happened to choose are REALLY EXTREME. They're set way in board and I was worried that was common but judging from the replies here so far they seem like the odd ball sized offset.

Why ya asking?
Hi BLKRUBI,

We're in the process of redesigning our flex-joint control arms and want to make certain that most rim offsets are accounted for (in the perfect world we'd account for all). FYI... We really like your setup!
