Any trouble running this spacer? Wanna run this type of spacer on the rear for a set of OEM 04 z06 wheels.

Any issues? Would a 1/8" be safer? Car is bone stock. Want the wheels to be similar to stock offset. Can anyone recommend a set of lugs to go with it for some better grabbing.

My recommendation is to upgrade the stock studs to the longer and stronger ARP studs. There are 1.5" and 2.5" ARP studs - even the 1.5" is longer than stock. This way you can run thicker spacers safely. I think it's even cheaper than adapter spacers too.

I didn't have any luck trying to run a 1/4" spacer with C5 replicas and stock studs. Wasn't at all comfortable with how short the studs were. I would either buy new studs or use adapter type spacers. Maybe 1/8" would be better but I don't think I would be comfortable even then.
