Surely offset increases or decreases as width of the wheel changes, assuming that the 'outside' end of the wheel stays the same - otherwise offset is meaningless?
E.g. if a wheel is 100mm wide and the offset is 40mm it means the 'spoked bit' of the wheel is 10mm thick (i.e. the mounting face is 10mm inside the wheel - but on the outside edge). If the same wheel is 200mm wide and the 'spoked bit' of the wheel is 10mm thick then the offset would need to be 90mm??
