Wheel spacers on stock wheels
Looking into getting some wheel spacers for my rears and most sites say they will not fit on factory wheels. Do they sell ones for stock wheels or has anyone used them with stockers? I want them to be hubcentric.

My buddy keeps telling me I should do the same but have been curious about this also

Most spacers you purchase are going to be hub centric, but good idea to confirm.
What size spacer are you planning? I run 1/2" ones out back, but have replaced my lug-bolts with longer/stronger ones for safety.
I run these:
I am NOT a fan of these:
The adapter type of spacer may/may not also be same pattern, but have the potential to come loose without your being aware. They also put additional strain on stock lug-bolts and wheel bearings due to thickness.

I am running 1.25" hubcentric spacers on stock bullitts. I did not have to modify my studs at all. The stock studs stuck out of the holes on the spacer by about 1/8" when the spacers where installed. The bullit wheels have indentions on the backside of the wheel that the 1/8" remaining from the stock studs tucked into perfectly, so the wheel sat tight against the face of the spacer when fully seated. Be careful though, because not all wheels have this indention, so the stock studs may have to be filed down or cut in order to keep them from protruding.
I have been running the spacers for about a year or so with no issues. I ordered mine off ebay, so I cannot speak to different brands / quality control...blah...blah...blah.

I used to run H & R 1 inch adapters. I did have shave the studs a little, because the factory 5 star wheels didn't have the built in indentations like the bullitts.
To be honest it looked kind of weird! It was just strange to see a skinny tire pushed all the way out towards the fender.
IMO, if you can, run 315's... the will look a 1000 times better!
