1st Gen wheel offset

Ok, I guess I'm going to be the dummy to ask: what's the difference between "offset" and "backspacing" if they aren't the same thing, which is distance of the mating surface to the centerline of the wheel?

Offset is the distance from the center of a wheel to its mounting face.

Backspace is the distance from the inside edge of a wheel to the mounting face. A wheel’s backspace is equal to ½ the wheel’s width + offset (in inches) + ½”
