Default Wheel offset

If you have two wheels and one has an offset of ET35 and the other ET40 am I right in thinking that the ET35 will stick out more from the hub?

If that is correct can I simply use a wheel spacer to make up the difference?

If so which size / how thick?

Or have I got this completely wrong

Yes a ET35 will stick out further than a ET40. If you use a 5mm spacer on a ET40 wheel, it will be equal to ET35

using just a standard 5mm will be fine as your hub should stick out and locate your wheel any bigger and you would need hubcentric spacers .just type it into bgay to see loads of different sizes. could go 15 one side and 20 other make them even wider ,but would work out pricey .
