Default Wheel Spacers

So I've been looking for wheel spacers for my Z , i have a 16 w Z07 pkg and she's lowered all way on stock bolts..

I've seen em on eBay and a few other places but only in like crazy 1/2 inch applications even 1 inch , im looking for more like a 12mm front and 15mm rear setup Simply to widen stance a lil and push the wheel's rt out to the fender lines for looking sexy purposes and of course the benefit of having a wider stance will help handling a tad bit as well..

Anyone run em or know where i can get such spacers from !

I've ran these on all my Hi Hp BMW'S made by h+r for many years years w great success in accomplishing everything i mentioned above for usually $70-$110 p pair

If anyone uses pls gimme details as well as where to buy !!


Thanks in advance fella's...

Neil

I have a set of 10mm spacers that I'd be willing to part with. Also has ET lugs with it I believe.

Jus spoke w Lenny , soo he can make them for the Z06 and they would be ready to ship on Mon/Tues next week , just gonna go Hm and make sure that a 12mm up front and 15mm rear would complete the look of Sexx that im after, line those wheels rt up to the fender line and order tomo am !

Both are hubcentric <<< (very imp) and the rears are a bolt on application

$260 w new lugs not bad at all !

When you do this, do you experience/expect to experience more stone chips on body panels? If you what are you doing about it? I sums this is also the case if one switches to wheels with a more aggressive offset.

I love the look and would like to do the same. Just concerned about stone chips especially with Sport Cup 2 tires which send every bit of loose road debris into rotational shrapnel!

Thanks,
Borrego

Borrego , ive literaly tan spacers on 10-13 cars over the years and nvr had an issue! As you can see w the Jeep ^^ they sit very agressive and blow past body panels yet Jeep has no side profile body chips , not even behind the rear wheels @ lower 1/4 panels..

Now the Z on the other hand is a Whole diff Animal as we see Rock chips w factory spec’s , I Currently have the entire car wrapped in Xpel PPF and on Monday i ordered thr Acs Composite Xtended front amd Rear Mud Flaps.. Im Hopeing any action created by spacers will be stopped by the Acs products but even if not the Rock will simply bounce off the Xpel as it currently does.
