Are you looking for spacers or lug conversion.I dont think it takes much to make a good spacer as long as it fits good and is made of quality material you should be ok.This is assuming you arent tracking your car.

No, no, purely aesthetics right now, I'm planning on some wider wheels for auto-x events and track days and such.

It's not for any conversion, I'm running some rota slips 15x6.5 4x100 at something like +42 offset. I just want like a 12mm spacer to push out the wheels a little for a more aggresive stance and a better photoshoot.

I don't want to buy crappy spacers tho (eBay stuff and whatnot) so I wantedto do my research for some good spacers. Hubcentric spacers, made for eg's specifically. I'll look at h&r and eibach, see what they offer.

Increased forces on the studs. More points of potential failure.

12mm, and you'll want extended studs.

Good call on wanting hubcentric spacers.
