The lower the offset number, the MORE they will stick out from the hubs.
So, if you add spacers, the wheel will be out further, thus will rub on the outer wheel arch I suspect!!

For example, an et50 wheel, will sit nearer to the suspension strut than one with et40. ie: you CANT get et50 by adding a 10mm spacer to an et40 wheel (it will actually be closer to et30)

Hope this helps.

thanks been told by a local company rally nuts to not use spacers they actually work out on the back to be the perfect fitment will just stick out a little more on the outer edge but should be fine cheers for your help
