Removing material would give a positive offset, wouldn't it? Adding a spacer would effectively lower the offset.

What Ben said. If you want a lower offset (or more negative) to move the wheel more out-board, then you need to space the wheel out. If you want to move it inboard (and increase the offset), then you'd have to remove material, however very few wheels would have enough material to safely remove 10mm as the bolt holes will end up with very little meat.

I've seen a set of Saab wheels with 5mm removed. I'm thinking of getting 10mm removed from the same type for a car of mine but I agree... it's pushing it! The 5mm isn't quite enough to avoid rub if you want to fit big tyres. |
