Default why do i have two diffrent foose nitrous wheels? (pics)

I just bought some foose nitrous a couple of months ago from cruizingconceptand i just notice the the front wheels are diffrent wheels seem likeone has a wheel spacer built it and the other doesnt. You can see the diffrence in the nuts, one of wheels has the nuts sticking out of the nut hole and the other has them inside the nut hole? Or its it cuz they havediffrent offset? here's some pics

1st idea... This could be a simple fix. Do you have the same problem in the back?

2nd idea.... Maybe they gave you 3 of the 10" wheels and 1 of the 8.5

It's to correct offset issues.

+1

Also, that could play in your favor in the long run if you were going to ever get a big brake kit. Maybe with that built in offset you will be able to run one without a space now...

Wait, what?
How do you just now notice this after a couple of months?[&:]
Didn't you check the wheels when they came in?
What size wheels did you intend to buy?

That doesn't look like a staggered setup, it doesn't look like the lip is deep enough.

I did check the rims and tires but I did not check the back of the rims and took them to tire shop to have them install, so I did not notice until I was cleanig the wheels. The rear wheels are deep dish the one in the pics are the fronts only.
