On the rear wheels, I want the center/hub of the wheel centered up in the wheel regardless of total width needed.
That’s what I think too bc I believe it would be more stable but I do see these super narrow rear ends with super deep outside spacing but to me that doesn’t make sense.
I will always make the rear as narrow as I can, i.e.use the deepest offset wheel for the width I am using or may end up using. 1) Axles are shorter, less likely to twist or flex, likewise for the housing 2) Easier to get the wheels and tires on and off 3) The entire rear assembly is lighter. If I can save weight for the same money, I'm doing it.
If I'm fabricating spring mounts or suspension mounts using big tires, I will cheat the housing forward a bit 1) Weight distribution 2) If I need to trim the wheel opening, I only need to fool with the front of it.
