I wasn't aware that you could get the same wheel in different offsets.
I guess what I'm trying to wrap my head around is that how does the wheel bearing "know" if I'm using a 1/2" wheel spacer or if I'm using a wheel with an offset that makes the wheel stick out 1/2" more? The pressure on the bearing would be the same, yes? The mass of the wheel/tire would be in the same place in either scenario, wouldn't it? Does a 1/2" spacer create THAT much extra force/pressure on the bearing?

Either way, the more I look at the rear of my car, I think if I was able to push the lower corner of the body kit that is at the back of the rear tire, closer the the car by about 1/2" or so, I might be satisfied. As it is, it sticks out too much and makes the tire look like it isn't out far enough.
