If the wheel is 8.5" wide and is advertised as (0) offset,.. allowing 1" for the spokes, then one would expect aprox 3.5" of lip on the outside,...but in this case as you can see by my photo, they built the back of the hub up almost 3" and that sent the spokes out and lost the lip.

In the 1st photo the spokes appear to be at, or close to center of rim,... if you look at the wheels I received there about a 5.5" lip on the back side and 1.5" on the front. Im not bitching just expressing my thoughts and expectations. Im pretty happy with the wheels over all so they'll stay.

I have never seen a 8.5wheel with a 3” lip...
Almost all 10wide lownoffset wheels have 3” lips and 12wide wheels have 4-5” lips

I think you're missing the point,..zero offset means just that,.. The spokes should be at or near center of rrim,..old school thinking.wheel-offset-diagram.jpg

If you look at the photo i posted of the back of the wheel,..theres all kinds of lip on the back,.. They pushed the spokes outward and added 3" in the back of the hub. My guess is its that the manufacture cheapa out bc less chrome finish on the outside.

Tires/rims came today,.. I like them but Im getting prepared for some trimming,....With the 0 offset I was hoping for a bit more lip, but when you see the back of the wheel you'll see why the spokesView attachment 195636 View attachment 195637 are so far forward, not sure why they do that.
It looks like where the wheel bolts onto the hub is the middle of the wheel to me like a 0offset would be... but it’s only a 8.5” wheel... if it was a 10” wide wheel u would have 1.5” more lip....

Where the wheel bolts to the hub is built up by almost 3",...get my point yet,... so the (0) offset is true in relationship to the hub being centered in the rim,... but the spokes are now offset by 3" due to the mating surface being built up.offset.jpg
