Hmmm, I'm pretty sure offset won't affect spring rates, but I haven't seen confirmation of that either. If you think about it, smaller offset wheels won't change lever length, because the upright/spindle only ever travels in a (roughly) vertical motion. Because the upright doesn't rotate or pivot around a point, wheel offset shouldn't affect spring rate.

Did you find your calculations?
