Here's the website. http://www.excaliburwheel.com/ These are the spacers.



I am running Konig 17x7 4x100 +40 offset. These adapters will let you run any 4x100 +35 to +40 offset rim. 90% of you import front wheel drive cars use. Really opens up your wheel options.

Thanks but I really just need to space my wheels out coz the inner tire is hitting my coil overs. I'm not switching to a different bolt pattern.

Thanks, Ed

There are wheel spacers and wheel adapters. Wheel spacers use your existing studs and just have holes for them to pass through, while wheel adapters bolt to your hubs and have their own studs. Since you need 1/2" spacers, you'll be using spacers (not thick enough to use adapters). This means you'll need longer studs. ARP makes some M12 X 1.5 studs that will work.

I prefer hubcentric parts. These have the center ring that ensures the wheels are centered on the hub. OEM hubs are designed this way, and it will ensure your ride is smooth at high speeds. If you rely on the studs, the wheel may be centered -- and may not. I got mine from wheeladapters.com.
