- In my experience, that stamped number is offset, not backspacing. I expect you have 7.5" wide wheels, if you have 120mm (4.75") backspace and 12mm of negative offset; or 9.5" wide wheels (unlikely o

- 120mm = about 4.7" backspace and that sounds about right for a FWD car. My Golf GTi's stock wheels have 4.75" backspace so yours is not out of line. FWD cars tend to have more backspace than RWD cars

- I just measured the backspace on my Ford Escort GT 15" wheels and it came out to 120mm.(There was a circled 12 stamped on the inside of the wheel which seems to back up the 12cm measurement.) That se
