im new to all this and maybe my understanding is just flawed..=\
No worries we all have start somewhere, but offset really works other way around. When you add spacer it will decrease the offset and push the wheel more out. So et38+10mm spacer really is et28. Basically low offset push the wheel out and high offset will retract the wheel in.
