Default What spacers for OEWheels do you guys run?

I got my DD c5 machined faces on my car. Had to do some BFH stuff. But as i look at it.. i honestly feel the wheels need to come out just that little bit in the back to like up with the quarter panels...
Im sure i cant be the only one who has seen or wanted to do this. What sizes do you run and what did you buy? Im gonna need longer studs as well of course. Maybe a couple pics and what spacer you put on!

Thanks!

Are both sides looking like they are in too far?

Do you have an adjustable PHB?

Here is what you asked for and I will be getting pictures soon since I just did this.
My spacers are: Allstar Performance Aluminum Wheel Spacers ALL44121 $18.99
My extended studs are: ARP Wheel Studs 100-7708 $28.00

I ordered it from Summit because of the extremely fast shipping.
You will not be disappointed, the wheels will be exactly flush with the quarters with those two items I just listed.

The spacers are not the shitty elongated design and they fit on the studs very tight.

Hope that helps!

$123. guess thats not too bad. I found the thread but couldnt really see the rear setup with the spacer on.. be nice to have a nice rear shot to see how they stick out. going too far would be just awful as well

Sorry man just noticed I paid $18.99 each for the spacers but still not horrible.
Also forgot I had a shitty cell phone picture of the car right after I did it... I must be getting old I cant remember **** anymore lol

The wheels are perfectly flush with the wheel well and I have not rubbed at all even taking corners at high speeds.

I'm running some cheap universal spacers from Pep Boys. They are 5/16", and set the wheels perfect to the fender well.

Will the toyo tq's fit with those exact wheels without having to roll the fenders? Maybe smaller spacer?

I used the spacer to clear the inner fender well, and doing that, caused me to have to roll the fenders.
