Is anyone running wheel spacers to get a “flush” look on their car? What size? Pics are appreciated. Thanks

Most everyone that runs wheel adapters, from what I've seen here on their base units, use 20mm.

Would be nice to see a comparison of some different width spacers installed. 20mm does seem common from what I've seen but 12.5mm seems like a good compromise too.

Wheel adapters >spacers
20mm is common on widebody cars, and they will slightly poke.

I went with 1/4" on the front and RR and 3/8" on the left rear. Yes, the rear cradle was manufactured off to one side. Drives me crazy.
I have gone to shank style lugs to catch a couple extra threads. Not perfect but better.
