Most people use wheel spacers to make the track wider and to give clearance where tyres rub on things like inner arches or just make it look like the wheel fills the arches better. Some one will be along soon to correct me but I thought most ford offsets where around 35-45 ET which means most of the rim is inboard of the uprights, by fitting pug rims the rim is more out board so makes the track wider and adds to the leverage that the wishbones has on the spring and damper. It will also have an effect on the 'scrub' but I can't think of a good way of explaining that just now...... google perhaps?
