The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Chrome # AM20152 has no offset or a zero offset. Most trailer wheels are a zero offset. We currently only carry two 12 inche wheels with any offset . The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel w/ Offset - 12" x 4" - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver # AM20165 has a -0.5 inch offset as does the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel w/ Offset - 12" x 4" - 5 on 4-1/2 - White # AM20149. I've attached a video to assist. The negative offset means the wheel is farther to the outside of the trailer by that 1/2 inch.
