One question on offsets - isn't it true that it's not possible to compare offsets from one rim to another because of the rim style differences (dish, spoke, etc.)?

Thanks very much guys.
One more thing... on my rims, the lug nuts sit (when tightened down) just below the face of the rim on the front (looks good) and the same nuts sit above the face of the rim on the back (doesn't look so good, especially the wheel lock which sits quite a lot above the face of the rim!).
Why is this? And is it worth me trying to find different lug nuts and locks for the back rims to look more like the front?

bitkahuna,
Normally, the depth of the nut/bolt housing varies among different size wheels (staggered setup). Funny thing, in my case, it occurs exactly the opposite: the front wheel lugs are more protuding than the rear ones.
Probably your rear wheel has a bigger lip than the front one, so the wheel center sits more inward and the bolt/nut housing needs to be shallower.
