Default wheel spacer

So my ride is pretty stock but wantd to a little more aggressive look for cheap. I have seen wheel spacers anywhere from a half inch to an inch and a half, and wanted to see if anyone uses them on stockers, or if anyone has any comments about them, good bad, indifferent, whatever. Love to get anyones opinions

What size wheels do you have. On my aftermarket wheels which are 18x10s i feel like they stick out with out spacers.

If you go 1/2" then you are going to want to get longer studs. Though eibachs make a very good set that have the longer studs already built in (for a lot of money if you ask me). The studs can be ordered from the auto parts store (might come out to 30-40 dollars for 20) and hitting them with a big mallet they should fall out the back.

Though ifi you no anyone with a machine shop i would have them made. I would make my own because they are a very simple part. Plus at a machine shop chances are they would be made out of 6061, not the 3031 grade alumunim they are usually made out of

I just have the stock 17s. The spacers I have seen incorporate the stock studs, even if its a thick spacer, the factory studs would work. I would like to just get the tires out from under the car. I just want something cheap before I get some 18/20s which might be down the road after spending a bunch on this silly seat from a certain Yankee stadium
