Lame.

Different wheel offsets are not lame.

Only legal if your track width is still within the measurments.

i know this may be a stupid question, but measuring the track width is from outside of tire to outside of tire right?

I have never really liked wideners, just because of all the add stress they out on your out stub shafts. You can use them but buy a few sets of replacement axles so when they break you can fix it quick. Also look into a set of bearings for the outer axle as these too will fail in time.
