FYI, when Offset is confused with brake clearance

UPDATED:
Just an FYI, thought it will help everyone with the Offset BBK disk variables. As shown below, bigger disk sizes has the tendency to decrease lip sizes but yet still have the same offset and the same tire-to-fender gap. That's is all, thank you, come again.



ADDED:
As you can see, added spacers are similar to disk spacing, but it affects final offsets, and reduces tire-to-fender gap, ...However, lip size remains unaffected but could've been maximized if BBK clearance was not needed.

so can you clear up the difference in (Work wheels) A, O, R, and T disks? Or even (SSR wheels) super low, normal, medium, and hyper disk?

O = Low disk
A = Regular
R = BBK

Deezflip - Great graphic!!!!
Such a simple concept, but misunderstood by many.

You would need a sectional drawing to see the actual difference.
The face curvatures are different.
You can't simply define the difference with anything but a CAD drawing.

I always wondered about the specs on these disk also, on how thick the A, O, R, etc. disks are. I'm guess that each wheel manufacturer has certain specs, or is this a standard and all are the same for all manufacturers?

Thanks, it's my AutoCAD skills. I'll eventually add an illustration that shows separate wheel spacers added and how it affects the wheel.
