how do i find the right spacer? I have 18x9.5 for the front with a 58mm offset and a 19x10 with a 68mm offset. If I recall oem for a ws6 is a 50mm offset. are spacers measured in mm? Or do I have to convert to inches?

Not sure what the stock off sets are. If you go an ebay I've seen inches and mm being used for spacer/adapters. So it wouldn't really matter because you would get the same outcome. 24mm is pretty much an 1 inch. Heres a link to help you out.

Well, to answer your question. Yes and yes.lol If I had to define the 2 in my definition. A spacer to me is if you need a few mm to say clear some brakes or calipers or if your tire is rubbing inner fender wall. Or basically you want it to be flush with the fender and only need a little to go. Don't ask some peeps are ****.lol Were for example you need more then a few mm, like say 24mm/1inch or more to get *hella* flush with the fender then you would go with an adaptor(hub centric preferably to be safer)
. Where an adaptor has studs on it for you to mount the tire to. Because your stock studs are only so long that your not gonna get about 12 turns on the lugnut which is reccomended. And I have not seen a 1 inch spacer but just for the hell of it, prolly exists. Then you will need to get longer ARP studs if you go that route. Anywho this my defintion which I cannot be held accountable for if you understand what I just explained, kool
.lmao
P.S. by the way it's gonna be mentioned. Or yah should have just got the right offset wheels in the first place.lol

Oh, by the way there are several brands especially on Ebay. Generic ones at best. One brand that comes to my mind and seems to always pop up on searches. Is HnR, I got my HnR hub centric adapters off of evilbay because I didn't look hard enough on google.lol Hope this helps. Laterz
