I'm confused
Not trying to open a discussion, but wouldn't this actually increase the offset?
What I know (if correct), is that positive offset means that the centreline of the wheel lies between the hub's face and the outside of the car.
If you put a spacer in, this would move the entire wheel (and therefore its centreline as well) towards the outside of the car, thus increasing the offset.
I was told (or I read) that a spacer can only reduce negative offset or increase positive offset.
Please, Mahjik, could you clarify, I am not buying spacers, but I'd like to be corrected if that's the case.
