Or just search eBay for 5x4.75 spacers and you'll get all kinds of items.

I don't know if 1" is what you need or not...depends on what the new offset of the rim is...

With a factory 9" wheel widened to 10.5", go with a 20mm hubspacer to maintain an almost factory +50 offset (actual +49), or a 25mm hubspacer for a +44 offset.

Well I'll be damned. I used the search function and found something!

I had the exact same question. I am wanting to widen my 17x9 Firehawk wheels to 17x11 and needed to know what spacer to use to get the best offset.

So with the 17x11 do you use the 20 or 25mm spacer?

Anyone know what length wheel studs?

Im running a 1" spacer with my 11" wide 00 WS.6 wheels with a little BFH. I have ARPs 2.5" Wheel studs on mine, they just so happen to fit into the recesses in the back of the wheel..
