For a 7" wide wheel, I actually think that is closer to +50...
where did the seller measure the wheel from? a 7" wide wheel usually measures around 7.5 or even 7.75" wide due to the width of the rim flange... lets say its 7.5" and the backspacing is as measured is 5.735" which is 190.5mm wide and 145.7mm backspace. Centerline would be at 95mm. Difference between 145 and 95mm is 50 mm, so, 50mm offset. If the wheel actually measures 7.75" wide, which is common for alloy wheels, then we are at 197mm wide. Centerline would be 98.5mm, difference there would then be 48mm...
So, you might be ok and its a seller issue!
