[QUOTE="EricM, post: 1210519, member: 20286"] The offset/backset measurement is no different whether is hub or lug centric. Both would be measured to the back of the face of the wheel flange. AE wheels being hub centric means the center bore in the wheel is machined correctly to fit tightly on the F150 hub. The hub then bears the full weight of the truck, the lugs just provide a way to clamp the wheel tight to the hub. The center bore in the Methods are too large, likely so they fit other vehicles with the same lug pattern, but with a larger hub diameter. In that case, the lugs are carrying the weight of the vehicle, not something they were designed to do. Ford's OEM Raptor wheels are Chinese too, so you can get decent castings from China, but I prefer US made stuff whenever possible. [/QUOTE]
