Help With Wheel Offset!!!!
I currently have 3 wheels that have +40mm offset but i needed to buy 1 more but they no longer make 40mm offsets so should i buy a wheel thats +38mm offset with a 2mm spacer or get a +45mm offset with a 5mm spacer? i'm not sure which one thanks alot

You're gonna have to buy at least 2 new ones. You can't mix and match offsets with spacers. Better yet, buy 4 new ones. Mixing and matching is dangerous... the offset effects the car's track, and you want it to be the same all the way around. Using spacers is pretty dangerous anyways.... if you have to use them, you didn't size the wheels right.

Rep Power: 423 You can't do it. I don't know how to make it any clearer. The offset doesn't effect just the back spacing, it effects the design and structure of the rest of the rim. It will never balance side to side on the car. You need at least 2.
