If you are in doubt about wheel spacers...Dont be!

From past experience you should be able to run down to 44 offsets on a 8.5 inch wheel, stock camber, and not have any problems. For the rear, an 11.5 inch wheel can run safely 55 offsets on stock camber and not have any problems.
My custom HRE wheels have 46/56 offset wheels on 8.5/11.5 inch wide wheels dropped on bilsten damptronics and I have absolutely no problems. In fact i can probably go out another 3-5 mm on each corner if I wanted to be really aggressive.

This is absolutely true!
One more thing I wanted to mention, since it has come up a few times in various conversations I've had with customers about spacers. Many people are concerned with vibration or shaking (similar to an out of balance wheel) because of the addition of spacers. The RSS spacers we sell are hubcentric. This means that they are designed to fit perfectly to the existing center bore of your hub. In cases where the spacers are wider then the hub itself, there is an extension on the spacers so that your wheels will still mount hubcentricly.
Another thing to remember which is VERY important is to clean the mounting surface of your wheels AND the hub before putting on the spacers. Use a fine wire brush or pad. By doing this, you'll insure that there's no debris, grit, or corrosion between the wheel->spacer->hub which would cause either of the mounting surfaces to not sit flush against each other.

What's the right offset to get wheels out wide on the body without spacers?
Is the right offset the same for an 18",19" or 20" wheel, or does it change with wheel size?
Now this is wide! 7 in front and 15 in back
