Rear Wheels

[RCP]

I noticed on our Oliver Super 66, that rear wheel to fender spacing was different on the two sides. I was surprised to see that the rear wheels are not the same configuration. These are 10" wide presses steel wheels with the centers riveted to the rims, and I believe the rivets to be original. But they are not the same, the centers are reversed, this results in them having different offset.

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks

it looks like the rim in the bottom pic the center is closer to the outside. I think you have 2 different rims

Comparing the two photos is hard to do because of the angle and light. It makes to top picture look as though the disk is bent just before the rim. Makes the slots look narrower? Looking at it, is the dish different? Are the hubs the same?

I agree just surprised that there would be two rims with the same width, but different offsets.

Dish appears to be the same, just different in which way the centers are mounted.

Was the tire mounted backwards on the rim?

I'd say it looks like 2 different rims to me
