Default What 20mm spacers is everyone using?

Decided I like the rims that came with the Corvette, but the spacing sucks. A club member suggested a 20mm spacer, but there's a bunch out there. Was wondering what spacers anyone here is using.

Thanks in advance

Also ordered the Alpha Wheel spacers for my '23 & 70th Anniversary. Perfect fit. Good price. No need to file factory wheel studs. No interference.

Wheel rims & tires are now flush with the fender wells giving a wider stance appearance. Already had installed splash/rock guards so no need to worry about road rash on the paint.

Those ones on Amazon say they use 10.9 studs but the pictures do not show 10.9 on the studs. If they were graded they would have the 10.9 stamp on them.

I don't see any markings on the 130 dollar ones either....

Its a peace of aluminum cut to size with studs pressed in. Don't over think it. If we are going to talk safety we should not be running spacers haha

I have custom wheels with correct offsets on order, these where for a few weeks and verify offsets and tires and drop has no issues/ rubs.

FYI the Alpha ones do not state they use 10.9 graded studs.
