Picking the right wheel spacers, which one to choose? Options

[808celica]

Just got word that FatLace/HellaFlush might be having HellaFlush 4 in Hawaii. I've been putting off getting wheel spacers with the hubcentric ring (not the knock off ones with no hub ring) for a very long time. First i was gonna get them for the GTS rims. Now I'm running my 18's daily, so which one should I get? Both are hubcentric for 54.1 centerbore on the celica. Version 1 comes with extended studs that you put in place of your stock ones. Or version 2 that has studs in the spacer itself and special gold nuts that fasten down your stock studs. V.2 seems to be the easier one to install, V. 1 seems to be safer cuz it's 1 lond stud. I'm only showing the brand Ichiba because they're the only one that's certain to have the extended studs for v.1 (hubcentric) or what v.2 has(lug centric).

sooo.........here's version 1

and version 2

which one?? Now for the last question what size?? 10mm, 15mm or 20mm. I have 5mm rings that make the rim......so so. Should I get the 10mm and try it out first then go 15mm if I don't like it? or go straight the 15mm and camber the heck out of wheels to be somewhat within safety check Either way I HAVE TO raise the car a little in order to stay within Hawaii's Road law "Rim diameter can be any size, but it must be inside of the wheel well."


and yes i did read this:

suspension has nothing to do with it unless the rims are extended far enough to rub against the wheel arch. but with spacers, i can see that there will be more stress on your wheel bearings.

almost. Suspension has a lot to do with it. Need adjustable springs at minimum to lower the car as far as possible for the look, then you will need to run them fairly stiff to keep from rubbing or actually having the tires slam into your fender. Then either buy proper offset wheels or use spacers to fit the wheels to how flush you want them.
