Depends if it is a negative or positive offset.

Rear spacing (or backspacing) is the distance between the wheel's inboard edge and its mounting pad. It can be measured by using a ruler and a straightedge set across the backside rim of the wheel.

If you have a "positive" offset, the mounting pad is in front (or outboard) of the rim centerline. This situation most commonly occurs on front-wheel-drive applications. To picture this more accurately, think of the convex design of many wheels found on front-drivers; the center of the wheel sticks out further than the edges of the wheel. If there's a "negative" offset, the mounting pad is behind (or inboard of) the rim centerline. This is typical for most standard rear-wheel-drive vehicles and "reversed" rims. Sometimes, this style is referred to as a "deep-dish" wheel.

For example, an 8-inch wide, 3-inch-rear spacing wheel would have a 1-inch negative offset. Conversely, if the same 8-inch wheel had a 5-inch rear spacing, it would then have a 1-inch positive offset. Finally, if the same wheel had a 4-inch rear spacing (which is exactly half its width) then the wheel would have what's known as a "zero offset."

In wheel-measurement designations, the diameter is listed first, followed by the width. A 16x7-inch wheel has a diameter of 16 inches and a width of 7 inches. Diameter is measured where the tire rests, not from lip to lip.

Are smaller scorpions more dangerous?

Actually, both baby and adult scorpions have the same amount of poison; although, the baby scorpions decide to use all of their poison they have (out of fear and immaturity). While, on the other hand, adults are smarter and only use a portion, they can survive, and give you poison according to the disturbance caused.


What is the ideal size for a throw blanket?

No specific size is necessary but the bigger the size needle, the easier it is to use. However, smaller needles make finer stitches. Since the fact that you are asking this question makes me think you are a beginner. So...I would say to use larger needles to start for this blanket, and once you get more a knack for this kinda stuff after doing a few more projects, then you could move onto smaller needles for more precise stitches.


What size punching bag do you need?

Bag size should be relational to boxer size. Heavy bag work helps build power and punching stamina. The bigger the bag the more power and stamina it takes to move it. The smaller a bag the more it moves and reacts to punches. I am 170lbs and use a 50lbs and a 100lbs bag in my workouts.

Why do bigger animals have more cells?

Because all cells are roughly the same size. This means that bigger animals are made of more cells than smaller animals. (If bigger animals had the same number of cells as smaller animals then the cells they were made of would have to be bigger in proportion to those that smaller animals were made of - and they are not)

Are bigger batteries better than smaller ones?

Other things being equal - same material, mainly - a bigger battery will store more energy than a smaller battery. If the same amount of power is used, the bigger battery will last longer. Whether this is better or not depends on the specific needs - the bigger battery will also be heavier, and use up more space.
