so I found a replacment wheel for my cracked wheel but
it is ET35, my wheels are ET32, can I add a 3mmm spacer to this wheel and call it good, would that be the same as if that wheel were a et32?
would I notice it at all?
Sounds better to me to have a good wheel than a refurbed wheel
opinions please
thanks

i'm pretty sure it's not the same because
moving the whole wheel out 3mm will give you a different affect than moving the mounting pad 3mm. the spacer will make the wheel stick out 3mm farther than the other side.
search google for how to measure offset and backspacing and you'll understand the problem

If you add a 3mm spacer the wheel will then be ET29
Take the wheel to a machine shop and have them remove 2mm and retaper the center bore. Then all the wheel with have the same ET35.
