my DE wheels seem fine. Anyone have pics with a caliper comparison of both?

I just went and hit my AE & DE wheels with my digital caliper and the DE
SCTE wheel is 1/2 mm narrower off set then the AE wheel so that makes
the SC10 4x4 a total of 1 mm narrower with the DE SCTE wheel.

Heres the funny thing I noticed while I was checking them out: The AE
wheel is 1 mm wider where the tire mounts then the DE wheel. The AE
wheel has the outside bead of tire 1 mm out farther then the DE wheel
does. So if you look at it with this in mind the truck will be 6mm over all
narrower with the DE wheel the the AE wheel.

So then I put both the AE & the DE wheels on the SC10 4x4 and the over
all mesurement was 3 mm wider with the AE wheel then the DE wheel. So
even though the inside offset is only 1/2 mm between the two wheels if
you mesure them on the truck the extra width of the AE wheel ends up
giving you a 3 mm wider truck the the SCTE DE wheel does. I'm not sure
this will make a whole lot of difference in the way the truck handles, but
I could wrong"

Sorry, no pictures as I have no idea how to post pictures.
