if i am wrong, get 4 45mm wheel and use the 20mm spacer in the back
I'll explain fully when I get home, since it's tough to do from a phone.

Basically, offset is the spacing from the center of the wheel to where it mounts. A zero offset wheel mounts at the middle. Positive offsets move the middle of the wheel farther in, spacers move it farther out.

Just run open ended lugs, and keep the longer studs in.
