Default Bit confused about wheel offset.

Ok so im after buying some deep dish alloys for my fez.

Something like these ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Borbet-a-a...item3a85d16b0c

Well i know the offset is 15, and i know that when the offset is ET15 that it means its more towards the wheel arch. So is there anyway to bring the offset higher. Spacers must obviously be usedthe offset is too high.

I have seen many people with deep dish alloys, have these just been bought with the correct offset or is there something i can do?

spacers effectively reduce the offset, IE with a wheel of ET 38, and 10m spacers, the effective ET of the wheel is now 28. Some wheels can be machined to take off material from the face to change the offset.


Here's a handy link for testing things
