If I have a wheel with a 40 mm offset, and I need 42 mm offset can I use a 2mm spacer to make it work? or would this make the offset 38mm instead of 42mm?
Offsets always confuse me

Offset is the distance from the center line of the wheel, to the mounting surface. So adding 2mm spacers to a postive 40mm offset is going to make it a 42mm offset. Adding 2mm spacers to a negative offset is going ot make a -38mm offset. Hondas use postive offsets, so that is just a reference

xkwzt21 has it right, if you add a 2mm spacer to a +40 offset wheel, you'll have a +38 offset

ok i'm confused. i just had a few people tell me to get wheel spacers to fix my rubbing. my wheels are 38 offset, i want to get that to 42. people told me to get some 5mm h&r spacers to fix that. but now you guys say that's actually gonna change the 38 to 33 right?
i hate people who don't know and tell you wrong stuff
