Ok, it's Friday and I am just about out of work. What does this mean:

"Don't use wheel spacers as a substitute for a wheel with the correct offset!"

If you can get wheels with the correct offset to begin with, don't buy wheels with the wrong offset and plan on using spacers to bring the offset to where it needs to be.

What's makes an offset correct to begin with?

And how does that relate to the fact that a person just wants the wheels/tires to be flush with the fender?

Correct offset is when the offset is the right amount to center the wheel side to side in the fender well. Basically where the wheel would be with the correct spacers. As long as you aren't running 30+mm spacers, there is no problem with using them. A lot of people think it is dangerous, but as long as your lugs are tourqued down, it doesn't really matter if there is a spacer or not.
