Yeah that's the real suck part. I measured many many times and had multiple calls to make sure the logic with sizing was correct. Wow, that really worked out huh.
I knew a wheel edge to edge would measure wider than listed, e.g. 11" wheel is actually 12" wide. So it didn't seem too far fetched to think that the 1/2" difference in measured edge to pad backspace dimension was simply because it was also supposed to be measured from the inner bead seat.
I've had 2 sets of Weld wheels over the years in both 15x10 and 15x8 sizes. They both measured larger than listed backspace if you measured from the wheel lip to the pad.
Unfortunately the wheel lips were already trimmed so there's no answer other than new wheels I'm afraid.
