That is, is the extra 0.5" located

A) on the inside of the rim,
B) the outside of the rim,
C) or evenly across the entire rim, i.e.) 0.25 per side.

C. The offset is a measurement from centre. If on either side only, offset would have to change.

Default H&R spacers are comparable yet much cheaper.

you can probably get a set of 4 for the price of a pair or MTM spacers.

check out Modsport. Bobby can get you a good price.

True, but with H&amp;R wheel bolts are extra. With MTM, wheel bolts are included.
