it should be a 2 inch adapter. That is what I have seen most of on the board. You could also go with 2 in the front and then less in the rear with some inner fender massaging. I do not know a whole lot about any of it but I have 2's on my car and about to go to a 17X11 wheel and i am looking at some fender modification. hope this helps.

Re: wheeels!
This isn't an issue with bolt on spacers. The bolt ons bolt to the hub, then the wheel bolts to the spacer. Even some of the autoX/RR guys use them. Thats about as much stress as you could put on them.
