So campagnolo rear wheel was worn out and bought these used.
I have trued a couple of wheel before, is it insane to give it a try?
There is around 9mm on the other side so i had to change 3-4mm?
or am i missing something, i could buy different cassette splines even possible to change offset?
i tried swap from the old one but didnt fit

Yes, dishing a wheel by 3-4 mm is very easy. So long as your hub is properly spaced on the dropouts, that is the correct way of solving this problem.

It’s called “dishing” and yes, it’s just like truing, except on the side you need. 3-4mm is fine, assuming the spokes aren’t already tightened to heck on one side or too loose on the other. But mostly it’s a balancing act.
