I believe this has to be taken into account with wheel width. Those numbers are the the offset from center in millimeters. + means the mounting surface is further to the outside, which = more backs pacing(not good for us).

+10 is like 3/8" and on a 8" wheel would be like 4.5" +1/4" ish(lip width) of back spacing, which may work. But not if it's a 9 or 10 inch wide wheel.
