You never mentioned the difference in backspacing between the wheels ? If there's 2 " difference and the spacer is 2 " thick , then you're probably right about the wheel ending up in the same place ? It's helpful to have all pertinent information . The center of the wheel would still move out but this would be made up for by the difference in backspacing . So I guess you're kinda right , me as well ?
