i was referring to hubcentric spacers with built-in studs. When you just run washers or the ones without built-in studs, then yes, I would agree.

A wheel that "fits" is really broad. Technically an 18x7.5 +50 "fits", but then so does an 18x10.5 +15...

For custom wheels, I would go with Jline, Jongbloed, or CCW before Fikse.

Either way you slice it using spacers is a hack.

Most likely for style right? You are going to have a really hard arguing either of those companies are better than Fikse.

they are all the same in terms of quality...

so yes, it would be based on style. CCW classics are one of the most popular racing wheels.

You guys are completely missing the point.

If i started from scratch, and money wasnt an issue, would I pick a wheel and spacers? No.

But, I already have wheels, and im not going to buy another set. So for the time being, I would like to run spacers to make my wheels flush.

If someones putting on a spacer with the stock studs, yes thats dumb. Thats why the good sets have longer studs or stock length built on.

So you're going to spend how much on "good" spacers.....the hubcentric ones that will work are quite expensive

Might want to look and see how much your wheels are worth used ...and the correct offset ones are new.

You might be surprised

spacers are only $150-$250 for a full set and there is nothing wrong with them.

Kicks are $125 for 2. I'm sure you can get it cheaper if you looked.

There is nothing wrong with hubcentric spacers; my friend has been tracking his 240 with spacers for over 2 years no problems.

How about 19x9 in the rear and 19x8 in the front... what offset would work better 30mm or 40mm in the rear and 25mm or 35mm in the front? Also what size of tires could I fit on the rear for the widest appearance?

You'll clear with any of those size
if you want to run max tire
you can run 275 on 35 but it'll rub

Sorry thats on the front that it'll rub? Or 275 will rub on the back, im lookin to go staggered 19x9 on back and i want the widest tire i can fit withought rubbing, and whatever i can fit on the front 19x8 without rubbing. The wheels i am looking at have an option of 30 or 40mm on the 19x9, and an option of 25 or 35 on the 19x8
