will a 200 still work on 190
 
will it?

i was thinking a cayenne body
on my trf415

i dont really care if it looks just a little funny
with the regular wheels
but is it REQUIRED
that i switch to 6mm offset wheels?

okay
can i just put washers
in between the inner wheel hex
and the actual hex on the drive shaft
so its like offset sorta

so its like....

CVD > HEX > WASHERS> WHEEL> LOCKNUT
wont that push the wheel out a little

thanks

That wont work too good.. the Hex's need direct contact for efficient drive...
Your hex has a pin that secures it into position.. putting washers in it means the pin wont fit into the hex and then the hex wont spin with the shaft making it useless.
HPI make 2mm of set spacers with some of their rims and is a better alterative to your washer approach..

My Escalade on a HPI Sprint 2 and the wheels are 0 offset.. I usually use 6mm on the rear and 3mm on the front.

They'll be fine if you have a wheel with a high offset and/or spacers. Just depends on how flush you wanna be. For UBER flush, I would recommend vulcan lips.

200mm with 190 body and no 6mm offset (OR NOT) ftw!!!!

that rear wheel is what "vulcan lip" is. Just a deep lip.
