Default wheel spacers?

LOL, I dont plan on using them. but in the past someone had suggested hubcentric rings as a more reliable and safe alternative. What would you guys suggest if I was to use these rings for about a .5" extra bite. I am definitely planning on using longer harder ARP wheel studs. Any suggestions are much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Default

When it comes to spacers most people seem to say don't go over 1/4" as it adds a lot of stress on the studs. If you can go 3/4" you can get a pair of hub-centric adapters that are super strong for about $85.

Hub-centric will make sure the rim is centered as well as take some of the stress off the studs as compared to non hub-centric spacers.
