Wheel spacers on stock Rim

[kmastl]

I know I am not the first person to do this, I want to widen the stance of the back wheels by apprx. 1/4 to 1/2 inch. I saw someone on here that widened the wheels spacing by .25" cant find who it is for the life of me.

I am going to cut the front by 1 coil and adjust the rear by .75", and after that get it realigned to carfixer specs.

I wanted to know what good brand of hub centric spacers to get that will do what I want. Also I remember with the 1/4 inch spacing that he mentioned that the lugs did not need to be replaced. I am not sure I like that idea of the nut threading in 1/4" less so I might get new lugs for the rear.

this is the look I am going for.... plus some additional spacing on the rear to match the front.
I stole this pic from embassy.
sorry for the long post :beer:

i have a set of self centering 1/4" crager spacers i used on an i roc z, they worked well , but i wouldnt go beyond 1/4" anything more and you wont have enough thread left on the stud! ive been considering using them on the mm(ford/chevy bolt pattern) not for a wider stance, but so my rims wont seize up on the rotor hubs

Have had them for 6years now. No issues nor problems.

Just take a wire brush to the hub mating surface, wipe/clean it off and apply a thin coat of anti-seize on the area where the wheel mates to the hub and you'll be good to go.

well after taking off the rear wheels to do the "bird man fix" with some anti seize i figured what the hell ill try the 1/4" spacers! so i slapped em on and i must admit it looks nice! plenty of stud left
i can snap a pic if you want to see it, which got me to thinking (uhh ohh) i wonder if i could widen my wheels to 18x10? hmmm:burnout:

Would 1/2" be too much? Who sells the most trusted spacers?
