Does anyone know how to CALCULATE wheel offset, or backspacing, when the wheel WIDTH changes? It's my understanding that when a rim becomes wider or narrower the offset of the rim should change to compensate for the change in geometry so everything "feels" the same according to steering and the bearings. I already know how to measure offset so don't answer that question!
