Default searching about rim backspacing and thinking

doing some research on rim backspacing and was thinking, maybe my rear passenger tire sticks out more because the backspacing is different then the other rims. hmmmm same style of rims though. the lugnuts weren't the same either on that hub. just don't know what the previous owner thru together.

just take one of each the front and back and measure it. Alot of wheels have the backspacing stamped into the wheel on the inside portion as well

... and if the backspacing is the same all around, maybe there's a wheel spacer on one hub? That would be bizarre, but I've learned to never underestimate the creativity of previous owners!

naaah no spacers, I had the tires off for a rear brake job and new soft lines.
