Hello! Has anyone tried or thought about using spacers on their 0em style 123 wheels? What will be size for the spacers?
Is it ok to use spacers on the rear wheel to make it flush a little bit to fender? This will make it staggered, just my thought. Thanks

The style 123 wheel's numbers are 8x18" ET20, so the figure is similar to my BBS which is 8x17" ET20. I'm using 5mm spacer in front and 12mm in rear.
It doesn't make it staggered though, but the wheels+tires are much more flushed to fenders now

Hi! Where do you buy good spacers and do you replace lug bolts to longer ones. If you do, what size and where to get them. Thanks
!There are different manufactures and I have Eibach Pro-Spacers. Just make sure you buy hub-centric ones!
The longer bolts are must. You will get right bolts this way: If your current bolts have 30mm threads and you get 12mm spacers, the right bolt length would be 30mm+12mm=45mm.
