'91 Z28 wheels ?

My '91 RS was optioned with the 16" Z28 wheels. They are marked 'front' and 'rear'. However, the rear wheels have approximately 1/8" spacers. I assume that the front and rear wheels have a different offset since they are marked as front and rear. Then why would the rear wheels also have spacers?

The spacers are only used with drum brakes. The disc rears are alittle wider hense the different offsets and the need for spacers with drum brakes.
