Default Wheel Spacers

So, i went from +35mm offset adr m-sports, which were flush with the fenders but rubbed all the time, to +56mm offset z06 style rims, which are tucked in a little too much. Anyone have a recommendation on which brand or style of spacers i could use to give my new wheels that same flush look but without rubbing? Also, would i need anything else like longer studs, etc?

I bought my car w/ the Z06 replica wheels and HATE how the fronts look. I'd like to hear some input on this as well.

Thumbs up

Check out this thread. I am using 1" H&R adapters for my rear 17x9 speedlines. They are pricier than the ebay ones, but are hubcentric on both sides. The quality and fit is great.

H&R also makes a 20mm hub spacer, which would give an effective offset of +36 with your +56mm offset z06 style rims.
FYI, you might have to cut off the unthreaded portion of the factory wheel studs.
