Default Wheel Adapters

I know there are a few threads on here about wheel adapters but I can't find any definite answers. I am running corvette y2k wheels on my 99z. I love the wheels, but don't like the stance of the car. My options are to get new wheels with different offsets or to use wheel adapters. I would like to get opinions from people who have used wheel adapters or know people that do and what their experiences have been with them. I've attached a link of what I am interested in. Those change the bolt pattern but you get the idea.

I have had mine on for about a year now. I got the H&R ones in 1". They were pricier, but are made in Germany. I purchased these because they are hub centric on both sides and fit snug. I have never had a problem with the nuts loosening. I check them whenever I remove a wheel for something and they are always tight. Here is one thread that speaks about them...https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...-trans-am.html

I got the eibach 15 mm spacers from advance auto parts website for all 4 wheels. It comes with longer studs and all hub centric spacers. I like my stance now on my car.

Be careful with those wheel adapters/spacers, they can break your stock studs. Might want to upgrade the studs when/if you get the adapter.
