[tech]: 35 mm offset with 40 mm offset wheels?

[abatzis2@hotmail.com (Michael Abatzis)]

hmmm. yeah, i guess you're right. i got one wheel that's pretty banged up 
from the crash, i'd like to replace it with a good cheap ($25!) wheel; they 
don't make em anymore. i expect this should still be cheaper than the $130 
or so they originally cost. will i have a problem with 35mm offset? i 
shouldn't, right?
