they way I understand offset is that it is strictly a measurement between the mounting surface and the centerline of the wheel, not where the spokes attach to the rim. The design of the spokes in relation to the mounting surface is what determines the caliper clearance.

So basically, if the spokes clear the calipers, the offset is irrelevant. At that point, you could run +20 or +50 and it wouldn't matter provided the spoke profile is constant.

FWIW, I couldn't install Z32 brakes on my 240 because the spokes curved inward too much and interfered with the calipers. The offset wasn't a factor here
