MIP makes slightly longer stub axles which will push the wheel out a bit.

You can also get wider hubs for your wheels to push them out more. Vanquish, Locked Up, Brood, Injora, and others make different width wheel hubs.

You should be able to just change the wheel hubs to give you more offset, like these.

With the groove that already exists in your current tires, any amount of additional width will help you out. You aren't going to dig that groove any deeper if you move the wheels/tires away from their current position. If you plan on replacing those tires in the future though, you might have to go a little wider.
Just to help you avoid potentially making the same mistake I almost made buying these exact hexes, these are +4mm over stock. (Stock 4mm + 4mm = YR 8mm wide)

Always happy to help!
I too, would appreciate knowing the dietary information of my wheel hexes. It's important to track your daily intake of machined brass.
