I have a set of universal 3/4" wheel spacers. I have them on the back of my car, stuck the rear wheels out nicely....but since I didn't have longer lugs, my mechanic said I was going to bust them off if I didn't take off the spacers.

I am not sure where they are right now though, or I'd show you them.

that would be a sweet setup with some deep dish wheels and fender flares.

You could probably double up on some of the smaller sized spacers...

I tried to find A/F adapters for our cars awhile back, but all i could were some from lowrider spacers and weren't sure if they were up to hard driving, which i'm sure you do. But I did find this place that does them custom. They'll give you quote on the spot, if i remember.

with the stock offset you got 1/2 max til the lip. so depending if you are going to tuck or not. if you want tuck don't go more than a 1/2
