I did some searching and found a few threads of people asking about wheel spacers and it seems that everyone is directed towards Motorsport-tech. I've seen multiple people recommend those spacers as they are apparently the best ones available for DSMs. Although I have yet to see anyone who actually has first hand experience with them and I was hoping to get some feedback.
Reason I ask is because when i purchased my wheel/tire setup I wanted to avoid any possibility of them poking or rubbing so I went a bit on the conservative side and got 18x8.5 (can't remember the offset right now) wheels with only 225 tires *facepalm*.
So now i'm left with a decent looking wheel but they are a bit sunk in and are not flush with the car. I am not looking to turn my car into some "hellaflush" ride that is worthless but I'd like to eliminate the sunk in look. I plan on measuring the amount of space with some washers before purchasing the spacers but I'm guessing i'll need at least 5mm but I can't imagine needing more than 10mm. Just looking for some thoughts. Thanks in advance.
