Positive offset + wheel spacer = "simulated 0 offset" ?

Hello, I have a hybrid Z with an IMSA race series wide body kit. I had a really hard time finding Wheels trying to keep the four lug pattern. The only thing you might get out of putting in a wheel spacer it's probably bearing distortion. As the spacers are close to being balanced but not 100% percent.
It was either I spend approximately $5,000 on custom wheels or settling for a simpler wheel.
 

Yeah, that's what I ultimately decided. I hate the 3 popular konig/enkei/rota wheels available for our cars in the stock offset/bolt pattern with 15" diameter. I decided to buy some wheels I actually liked with +15mm offset and I'll use a 25mm spacer giving about -10mm offset when done. The spacer and the wheel will be hub-centric at least. I can't afford custom wheels (especially when I'm not sure what my end  color is) if I want to do ANYTHING else to my car.

 

Btw your car is awesome! It looks so funny with the stock offset wheels in those big fenders though

Them are some flares!

Yeah I agree with you it looks pretty awkward with the stock tires on it!

We are currently installing camber plates front and rear and all four corners lower arms in Billet aluminum, 4-wheel Large disc brakes. That was one of the reasons for choosing a 16-inch rim for me, had to be wide enough diameter to fit the rotors and calipers.
