Offset of the hub.Not sure if you can make the difference with spacers.

Default offset

The offset is in the spokes. They are longer on one side than the other. And no spacers won't fix it. It all boils down to clearence for the brake. Seems sorta wierd I know....I would have taken a different approach. But then again..................... I always do.
