I have run spacers befor but they were 3 mm I would not run anything bigger on stock studs as I found out there is not much thread to hold the rim onto hub with a 5mm spacer.unless you are going to go Bolt on spacers I would not be trying this on stock studs they are just too short

Hmmm ... Thought of rim snapping off at speed versus better looks ...

No brainer to me.

No drama til there is one then no insurance.

There are some cosmetic mods I can justify - I can't justify wheels spacers when you can get rims with a more appropriate offset.

My 2 cents.

I have thought of running 15mm Bolt on spacers they will push rim to guards but have now decided to run 17x9 rims instead to give me that hella hella flush look much safer than spacers and I still will have insurance
