I'm ordering 15mm spacers for my white buddy clubs the SF challange. The wheels have a 42 offset how will the 15mm spacers look will it move the wheels out to be more flush??? Really need help before I order them and wish I went with another size. But I think 15mm will look good. Let me know guys.

yes.. it will move the wheel out 15mm. but i personally would never use spacers.. just get wheels in the right offset..

we can run 15mm spacers without extending studs?

No we have too.... the ones I'm looking at come with extended ones.

i track my ep. and when i'm breaking hard before a corner and turn in, i don't want an extra piece attached to my hub that could possibly break off due to the stress.. just get wheels in the right offset and you're good to go. the shop i work for won't even work on a car with spacers. we get them wheels that fit. but just like anything. there are people that swear by them and swear that they're perfectly safe.

you will have a +27 offset after the adapters, i have seen +30 and they are pretty flush, what width are your wheels? and also is going to come down to what size tires your running and your height if your going to rub or not. you might need to adjuster for more negative camber to clear.

as far as safety, they are just like any other part out there, if installed correctly they are great, if not then is not so great. Buy a good brand and make sure they are hub centric, like H&R, and always torque the the adapter nuts and wheels lugs correctly.
