Default Wheel spacers with 700rwhp?

Happy New Year guys

I have been considering to do a wide body in the rear only of my c6 coupe. I recently got a set of new TSW rims that I love (10.5 inches wide in the rear) and I really don't want to buy another set of rims, thus I have been considering installing spacers for the rear wheels.

I know nothing about spacers and value your opinion. Do you think spacers are not a good idea, especially considering I have almost 700rwhp?

Size recommendation on the spacer I should buy and which vendor to go with?

Thanks for your help guys
Raj

If they are 3 piece wheels just buy the barrels. I would be skeptical of spacers over 1 in. With that hp leval.

I wouldn't want them on a stock car, let alone 700rwhp car.
Second, why would you only want 10.5" wheels, which limits your time size? I would want to be running 345s on the rear at that power level.
Find the wheel you want in the proper size to fit some decent tires, or send your current wheels to a wheel widening service.

Sounds like your looking at adapter not spacers. I ran these on my car for 2.5 years. The important thing is what tires are you running, if street tires on are on your car, then no problem. The ones I used are hub centric and made of 6061 billet aluminum and stronger than your wheels. $81 shipped
