There is a little more to it than that ... the offset can be the same,
but there not be clearance for some parts. Example; I have a Venture
"minivan" and our daughter drives a Lumina ... the offset and bolt
pattern are the same, but even with both having disc brakes, I cannot
put my Venture wheels on her Lumina ... parts interfere with one
another. She had a flat, and I was going to do that to drive it to te
tire store ...

How does the rim know whether it's being stopped by a disk or drum
brake?
Or is this just your way of pointing out that the offsets may be
different?
