Spacers on stock wheels?

Hey guys, new here. I tried searching for this topic, couldn't find, lock if one does exist.

I have a 1998, and just put in Tokico shocks and springs.

Was wondering if it is possible to put spacers on the stock wheels?

Thanks

Oh yeah you won't have a problem. If you go more than like 10mm or so I think it is, you want to get longer wheel lugs, or a lug adaptor

Also should probably mention I am looking for built in stud spacers for the stocks, still should be fine?

I've got spacers on my sawblades now with no issues. Got 20mm up front and 25mm in the rear and it's still a little sunk but I'm not going higher than that (spacers wise).

Its possible of course but I would be careful which ones you get as most out there are very crappy. H&R is my recommendation. Trying to get a good stance with stock wheels is a futile effort however.

I forgot to mention that I'm running eBay spacers as well with no issues.

spacers are used to help your wheel clear other parts, and for adjusting wheel gap.
