I did, and its still wrong. You stated
Negative. The closer to zero your backspacing, the better. With a 5 inches of back spacing, you have all sorts of weight being cantilevered off the lug. With Zero inches, the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. The reason Manufacturers use such great offsets, is so they can run a medium width tire, without having to widen the wheel wells, or having the tires protrude from the wells.
We go through this when building race trucks all the time.

Thats wrong. 5" of backspacing in close to most stock wheels. 0" of backspacing would make the inner bead of the tire lined up with the wheel mounting surface... which would make about 10" of a 10" wide wheel sticking out of the fenders.
