Wheel Spacers? Thoughts/Issues?
What are your thoughts on using wheel spacers to get the tire/rim flush with the body? I'm considering it but have never seen a discussion on the topic here.

Use the good quality hub centric ones and you will be fine.

Be aware though that anything more than maybe 1/4" thick and you will need longer lugs.

Depending on how far you go, I was always a bit concerned that changing leverage on linkage could cause problems on track during hard cornering. For street it should be fine

Never been a fan of wheel spacers. I had a C6 that I put on the rear wide body, but I bought Z06 size wheels and tires for the rear.
