running a spacer is not a big concern. the Spacer is 1/4" It is needed to move the wheel away from the brake tabs that will make contact with the wheel. The Spacers i Supply are Billet Alum. not a cheap cast one. also the Biggest issue is when you run adaptors, Those are what you have problems with. If you can see the front wheels you can see they are not really spaced out far, and you can also see the lugs through the lug nuts.

so in front a 15x3.5 just like were running on this car. with a 1/4" ( .25) spacer.

You can daily drive them as many people do. I would suggest a good tire and to learn that your car will be different then it was before. i have daily driven on 15x3.5's for many years and have not had an issue. Also these wheels were designed for the street and track.

But just remember taking turns are 40 and slalom driving are not recommended.

The spacer i supply is a billet Spacer.
