    First you need to go here >>> Wheel Tech - Offset
    And read up on wheel offsets

    Then you will understand that a 30mm/20mm spacer will increase the offset of the wheel because you are changing where the wheel meets the hub and making it more towards the center of the wheel

    To answer a few more questions you may have is that yes 5x114.3 is our bolt pattern and have seen good results with offsets anywhere from +30 to +45, That would mean that if your spacer is 20mm and your offset was +15 it would now be +35

    Basically you bolt the spacers to your hub and bolt your wheels on top of the spacers (20 and 30mm spacers have got to have their own studs.. that's a big spacer/ adapter)

    Usually offset is measured by mm.
    20mm is .7875in
    30mm is 1.1810in



    I personally have a bolt on spacer/ adapter size of 1.25" / 31.75mm

    I understood it now.. thanks for the support... I will buy his 30mm spacers... We tried putting it on, and it looked pretty bad ass.. now all I gotta do is roll my fenders and lower my frame, maybe 2" to 3"...
