There's an "assumed" 1" spec for flanges but it's not always so.
Yeah,it's a common assumption that a 17x11 wheel is 11" wide when it is actually closer to 12". Zero offset on a 17x11 is actually 6" backspace,not 5.5".

Sorry for the unrelated question but what offset or backspace number are members running on 18x12 rears?
