Default 997 C4S - Offset Question

Good Afternoon,

I ordered some 3-piece wheels, however there is a backorder on the front-inner barrels (supposedly . . and it's already taken 12 instead of 6 weeks)

My current set-up is running the Turbo II's with 7mm spacers front/rear.
  • Front - Rims: 8 x 19 57mm - Recommended Tires: 235/35 ZR19
  • Rear - Rims: 11 x 19 51mm - Recommended Tires: 305/30 ZR19
They have 19x7 inner barrels which works out to: 19x8.5 with an offset of 63mm, I know this adds .5" backspacing. This is the opposite direction I really want to go, but what exactly does it affect by doing so? Because I'm already running spacers,to clear the S-brakes am I really just ending up with what would be the stock backspacing? Normally I don't see wheels with added back-spacing, but rather see them in the opposite direction of say 50 or 52 offset.

I just want to make sure I'm not going to agree to these wheels being built and find that things are just not right.

Thanks!
