Default Need help with Wheel Spacer!

Hey guys,

I bought a new set of staggered wheels a few months ago (link pasted below). I noticed that the rear wheels are not fully flush with the fenders. I also noticed that sit at a slant (top of the rim farther into the wheel well than the bottom.

Front
Size: 19x8.5
Rear
Size: 19x9.5


Can you guys let me know what my best bang for the buck as far as adding some spacers to help this problem?

That's called negative camber.

V2's seem safer and hassle free to me. With the V1's, you better hope your studs are long enough; and/or your lugs can get more than enough threading on the studs.

(I like safe and hassle free )

The V1 style comes with the proper studs for the install, any quality V1 style spacer comes with the proper studs.

The V2 style when installed have their studs pressed into a thin aluminum vs steel area. I like my studs to be pressed into a steel hub vs aluminum.
