Yea a guy I know who moved from MN to CO and asked me if I wanted it. Off a 2014 trail pro. 17x7.5 stamped right on it. I looked up the wheel someplace and it has the same 15 mm offset.
The link I posted in the original post is a great tool. I understand all the measurements but it does get confusing. I can see how people get confused.
I used the OEM wheel specs to compare with that tool. 16x7 15 mm offset.
The steel spare is only 11 mm closer to the UCA but that is enough to rub. Looks like it only works to be 3 mm closer than stock wheels. Sure you could go much further out but then your going to rub fender. Seems like you want to keep as tight as possible to the UCA without rubber for best stuffing.
