I run them on my car, 3/4", and they are very well built. Plus, they are hub-centric.

This company was recommended to me, but I hadn't tried them yet. Still, it is another avenue of investigation.

So are the point of these to take the bolt size from 5x120.65 to another size to fit more common wheels? And the spacer part so thick to accept wheels with much less offset? I've seen these, but never knew the real point. Or if they where just to push the wheels out more.

... or to fit a wheel that has a bolt pattern that differs from C5.

I run C6Z 18X10.5 front and 19X12" on the rear wheels with 325/30/19 and wide fender flares; the H&R push the wheel out to the fender in the rear. How big are your rear/front wheels?
