they basicly do what they say, Space the wheels from the car, You can get any size of spacer! Most common are 5/10/15/20/25 mm Spacers!

Its entierly up to you what you go for, most cases people use them if they have aftermarket wheels fitted, as without them the wheels wont fit!

Also with taking the wheels further out it in theory increases the stability of the car, giving it a wider stance!

Be careful tho, as if you space them tooo much and your tyres stick outside the arch then this is an offence, the wheel can be as far out as you want, but the running radius of the tyre must be within the bodywork!

also to reduce the offset (ET) the wheels i'm running are et41 and to get them inline with the arches and not right in the arched i got some 20mm spacers to make the et21. the lower the offset the further out the wheels will stick..
