Default safest spacers
Looking to buy some spacers. Who sells a good one? Don't want to worry about it once on. And what's the best style to use?

You're looking at wheel adapters at that width. A wheel adapter is very safe, I wouldn't think twice about running one.

I just pulled a set of H&R spacers off my car that have 100 miles. I put 315's on my car and they stuck out a little to far with the spacers so I pulled them off. Looks brand new still. Anyone that wants them PM me.
