Default ZR1 wheels 50mm offset with spacer?

found some zr1 wheels with drag radials.. But it has a 50mm offset..think i need 36mm.. Could i add a spacer to correct it? Would that be safe with less threads on studs with spacer?

Generally, I'm never a fan of spacers...but many run them just fine. I would never recommend running spacers without longer studs. I know some have also opted for extended thread lug nuts, but again that would only be good/safe for just so much IMO.

Since you need to make up 14mm, you cant use slip on spacers on stock studs. You'd need to replace the studs for extended/longer sets. Most you can use on stock studs are about 1/4" or 7-8mm before you run out of useable threads.

You would need a hub centric and lug centric spacer. Personally I wouldn't run them at all..

I would never run spacers. I've had too many near catastrophic experiences with them. OBTW, they were both hub and lug concentric too.
