Default Wheel Spacer question
Im buying the c6 z06 brakes and I have 18x10.5 in the rear and 17x9.5 in the front right now. I know that i have to get a 18x10.5 in the front now to clear the brakes. How safe is it to run spacers? Can spacers be used at high speeds? Just wondering any help would be great

Thanks
Matthew
