Technical question:
Why do OEs fit differing F/R offset wheels? Thinking buy 0mm offset wheels then use a hub spacer to obtain the OE desired scrub radius thus handling requirements?

Assume its to achieve parallel alignment on the chosen setup.
6.5" front vs 8" rear wheels
50mm vs 33mm offset

You need to add 1/2" to the rear.
Can't really find a 1/2" spacers.
So, do 1" front and 1.5" rear.

BUT.. 50mm is around 2 inches.
So.. IDK what you want to do after considering that.

curious why they dont change hub-hub dimensions thinking from an OE standpoint its cheaper to buy 50,000 wheels of same offset vs 25,000 of one & 25,000 of another?
