Backspacing does not mean offset. It's 1/2 width plus offset- the distance from the mounting surface back towards the strut that the wheel goes. I was under the impression that the new suspension had more backspacing, meaning a given width wheel could be run with a higher numerical offset, giving more fender clearance.
