I'm somewhat 500 km from the ones in my garage and I need the info. _________________ "That bumper fits there like sunglasses on pig" O.E.

The measurement between the outer edges of a 2CV wheel rim is 125mm, so the standard offset (inset?) is near as dammit 30mm... Ken.

So to clarify things, you asked for the backspacing on a 2CV rim and that's 92mm. Guess you're not too bothered about the offset, so long as the rim will fit on a 2CV hub... Ken.
