Expert Reply:

The Dexstar Silver Modular Trailer Wheel part # AM20760 has a one half inch positive offset. Meaning that the rim face is one half of an inch closer to the inside of the rim than it is to the outside of the rim. If it were a negative half inch offset it would be one half inch closer to the outside of the rim than it is to the inside. This will allow you to move the tire a little closer or a little further away from the trailer frame depending on which you choose.
