I think I misunderstood what you thought was contradictory.

I am certainly not agreeing with you.

If you want to talk about brake clearance:
Say you have a 17x7 on a 45 offset...and it happens to have 2mm clearance from the brake caliper.

If you take a 17x7 with a 50 offset, it will have the same 2mm clearance from the brake caliper.

Offset does not change the hub size. It does not change the hub/face design at all.

Offset moves the entire hub/face assembly to a different place inside the rim blank.


So if you are rubbing your caliper, getting a different offset wheel doesn't necessarily fix anything.

If you throw on a wheel spacer, you are effectively changing the measurement of offset by pushing the hub/face outwards. You are effectively decreasing offset.

But then you run into situations where people think that since they artificially changed the offset of the rim setup, that someone else can just run the resulting offset and be fine. An example:
a 17x7 with 50 offset wheel doesn't fit because of brake clearance...and you spacered it 5mm.
Someone may think now that a 17x7 with a 45 offset should be fine.
But it definately is NOT because you are artificially changing the offset and increasing the hub size.
