Default Offset has nothing to do with it - wheel center (spoke) shape is key

Of course you can add spacers to increase the clearance between the center and the caliper. This decreases effective offset, so you would want to find a wheel with a corresponding increased offset to keep the tire clearances and rim centered. For instance if you needed a 10mm spacer to clear a given wheel design and that wheel width is 8", given the normal desired offset is 35-38mm, you would want to get the wheel with a 45mm offset.
