I see, well not really anything to do with the offset then - that has to stay the same to keep the cornering dynamics right. You really need to talk to a professional wheel seller to get the right advice.

If you're really stuck though, have a good look at the info on the web page I posted (it took me several read throughs to get the ist of it), then think about this - you want to move the spokes away from the hub while keeping the offset at around 36mm. Although it sounds back to front you need to INCREASE the offset of the wheel and then use the spacer to push it away from the hub face.
