Use spacers with care to decrease offset but not increase. And take note that spacers decrease the thread engagement of your wheel studs. NEVER go below thread engagement equal to your lugbolt diameter. 3/8 spacers are likely to do that. As a general rule 1/4 is max with 1/8 common. A wheel with 42 mm neg offset will change to 39 with a 3 mm spacer. You cannot use spacers to increase offset.
