Default Wheel spacer question

Who's running wheel spacers...? I have 19x10 out back but I wanted a 19x11 look but my rear wheels only came in 19x10 anyone running spacers with a few pics, more affordable then buying another set of rims...!

1/4" spacers on 19x11 with +65mm offset. 325/30/19 supercars. If you look at Blitzkrieg's post and photos in the "Rim Size??" thread, they look about like that. I think he has the same setup, except for different brand tires.

I have a 1'' hub centric wheel adapter on the rears and it brings it out perfectly flush with the wheel well. I am planning on doing a 1/2'' hub centric wheel spacer with longer wheel studs in the front, just have to order them. Here is a before and after picture.

i saw a c5 on a lot a few months back and the rear wheels shot out about as far as those, and man that spot behind the rear tire on the rear bumper was chipped like CRAZY.

Thanks!
I have not put the protective stuff on yet. This was part of my winter modding and still have yet to take the Vette and actually drive and see how it is. I figured I will drive it around first and see how dirty it gets and decide then.
