No, what I mean is the backspace remains the same for our application, no matter what the width is. If you run a 7" wide wheel you'll want 5.25" backspace. If you run an 8" wide wheel you'll want 5.25" backspace. If you run a 10" wheel, you'll want 5.25" backspace. This keeps the distance between the inside of the wheel and the suspension components the same no matter the width of the wheel.
Obviously if you keep the Backspace the same, the offset changes; and if you keep the offset the same, then the backspace changes.
