Offset & Backspacing are different. Usually people are more concerned with backspacing

Backspacing is the distance from the back of the rim to the mounting surface of the wheel, the offset is the distance from the mounting face to the centerline of the wheel.

Back spacing and offset are not the same.

The Rubi wheel offset is 44.45mm.
