Wheel Spacers

[Slow and Slightly Angry]

I've been trying to do my due diligence on wheel spacers and have found out that just about everyone, from Indonesian mill factories to my great aunt Betsy will sell you a set. Thanks to Logans hard work I can see that quite a few builds have used them and I am looking to find out what brand anyone would recommend. I have a coupe which will probably need 1.5" (38mm) in the rear and about 0.5" (12mm on the front).

From what I read, the most important thing is paying as much as you can for them. I know I want hub centric and that I may have to get longer studs for the front but I have no real idea what makes the eibach better than steeda or what cj pony carries. Any opinions would be helpful!
Thanks.

I used Eibach 1" spacers on my Coupe (rear) and CJ Classics 1" spacers on my truck (four corners). The Eibach's win the price for being the most expensive. But were obviously high quality as most products from that company. The ones from CJ Pony Parts were decent and I'd use them again. Although the truck isn't done so can't cite driving experience. I'd stick with name brands and avoid the really cheap versions. Hub centric is key as you mentioned. I'd also stick with billet construction. Not cast. Mine were all bolt on types. They came with nuts that fit the spacer and depending on your wheels, may require you to trim the existing studs. Then have new studs on the spacers for the wheels. You mention longer studs for the front so I guess the 1/2" aren't bolt on? My Coupe has the standard FFR Halibrand wheels. So 1" in the back and nothing in the front. You are going with different wheels with different back spaces?

Thanks Paul.
I went with the ever popular for the coupe Forgestar F14 19x10 in the front with a 42mm offset and a 19x11 in the rear with a 26mm offset.

I use spacers/adapters from https://usadapters.com/ - they have many domains. I've have a few different versions to adapt from ford/porsche, ford/viper..

I ordered my adapter/spacers from http://www.uswheeladapters.com/ - they shipped in two days. Very happy with them.
