A spacer is nothing more than additional offset(actually decreasing our stock offset). Rims all come with different "spacers"...
3s's need alot of offset/spline size to clear the brakes... thusly we dont have huge amount of cars with huge deep dish rims.

My 3 piece forged rims have a built in "spacer" that lets me adjust the offset on the rim simply by putting a different size in... is it a spacer? yep... but its the rim.
Here's a good read...

Wow actual racers suggesting using spacers?
Here's a pimp Willwood 2 inch spacer
(its actually a "adapter") but hey...
Wide is good
