Again, you are talking about backspacing, it's semantics on 1/8 buggy offsets, once you start to measure from hex face inward, then you are talking about the backspace. Each measurement are derivatives of each other, but are very much different depending on the context of the measurement. I have grown to appreciate the importance of measuring front spacing instead of backspacing to get actual track width changes. This becomes very important when changing brands of wheels, even brands that are marketed for compatibility with the same car I have found it necessary to add hex spacers in order to get the same track width due to very slight differences in the front spacing yet both brands of wheels had the same back spacing. When you change your track width, this will effect your traction:
