Wheel offset - double check

Can someone double check my thinking on some wheels I have been watching on ebay. They are 13" 5.5J minilites- seller says they are 100mm from rear of hub face to the inner rim of the wheel.

By my calcs (hence the check!) 5.5 inch is 140mm. Centre of wheel is hence 70mm. So wheel appears to be 30mm offset?

Seems to confirm offset measured from centre to the rear of the face.

Anyone?

Edit to ask if these are any good on a MK Indy with rear drums and front Sierra uprights and calipers?

Cheers

Rich

The 100mm 'backface' dimension probably includes the rim flange (typically 13mm) so ET may be around +17.
