Offset 101 For Dummies

Conversion: 1 INCH = 25.4mm

example: 17x10 rim is 254mm wide (0 offset for that gives you 127mm sticking out and 127mm going in)

Mods sticky this?

Also please feel free to throw in some exact figures in here as far as whats the maximum clearance you have gotten from rim backspace. Thanks!
