Back set on front wheel drive cars is generally much greater than on rear
wheel drive cars.
Back-set is defined as the distance from the inner rim flange to the
mounting face. It is NOT the same a offset, which is the distance (+ or
-) the center line of the rim to the mounting face.
FWIW, RWD cars usually have massisve amounts of negative offset.
The Back-set on rostyle wheels is about 2 1/2".
