Where can I find a set of inexpensive wheel spacers. Either 7/16" or 10-12mm. Somewhere in that range.

I just think it may look even better if i push out the 19s futher then they are. The 35mm offset doesnt please me 100% but its still not bad.

this is the one that will fit

 

Can I really add a spacer behind the back wheels with no negative effects?

I happen to think the car would look better with the back wheels pushed out a little, but I am worried that there could be negative effects on handling, suspension wear, etc.

Has anyone done this? Does anyone have any solid info on the pros and cons of doing this?

That first link shows a 15mm one for 96 bux. Please tell me thats not PER hub. Its a 12 dollar part I can make at the shop haha.

Regardless I think 15mm is too far. That would put me at a +20 offset which I may not feel comfortable with on a 2" drop!

 

I would like to push out my stock rear track wheels a bit closer to the edge of the body. Does anyone know if there are spacers for such a thing and if it will screw up the handling or VDC? I'm no suspension expert, so please be kind!

 

Wheel spacers need to make full contact with the wheel otherwise heavy loads could cause a failure.

Also longer studs should be used where there isn't any threaded portion inside the spacer hole.

Spacer holes for studs need to be precisely machined otherwise the studs might bend and fail.

So if you get spacers and they look misfitted or poorly machined, I'd return them in the heartbeat.

Just some precautions about using spacers.

When the funds are low it's a good temporary solution for to increase the stock wheels track, but the proper way is to really get new wheels with the correct offset. Totally understand the reasoning though... cause dropping 2-3K on new wheels + tires is a lot of cash ( which I lack too ).
