Re: wheel spacer

post pics and be more specific about play ?
bolted on or not are they hub centric or not

1. spacers with right bolt pattern for wheel and our cars are safe if bolted correctly
2. be more specific with to much clearance ? but no such thing to much
depending on thickness of adapter you may need to trim down due to clearance issue with
wheel hub back especially if wheel doesn't have pocket relief's for weight savings
3. ebay , amazon don't make but sell all adapter I personally run https://www.motorsport-tech.com/
I order custom to where I want my wheels to sit
4. do some research and reading about wheel adapters and terms like lug centric hub centric
learning about tire size backspacing offset as all of it directly affects wheel spacer sizing
