Wheel spacers/adaptors

[.blank cd]

I dont know if any of yall have seen these, and i know someone will probably bash me on this, but the 1" wheel spacers that adapt to a different lug pattern, does anyone know how reliable these things are?. Im thinking of getting a rather pricey set of wheels and the resale value for wheels of my particular lug pattern is pretty low. Im wanting to use the adaptor to change to 4x100 so i can sell the wheels later on.

^I dont know if I would do it or not. IM usually one to try anything once, but to me it seems that those kind of deals are unsafe. They are probably fine, but I dont know, dont have any experience with em.

1) Wheels are going to stick out farther.
2) The wider stance will cause more suspension travel at the tire.
3) Increased stress on the hubs & wheel bearings.

DONT GO WITH SPACERS NOOO!!! I work at a discount tire and i see this problem all the time it will cause you to feel a lot of shaking even if they are balanced. you only use spacers because the wheel for the car isnt the right wheel. I would advise you to get a correct wheel with the correct offset because it will only cause trouble.

for your purpose, i'd only go with spacers if they were hub centric. if they're an inch+ make sure you can put lugnuts over your existing studs & the new studs for the new bolt pattern!

eh. accords are lug-centric. Its not a big deal. I found wheels, and id rather not have to buy spacers and then get them balenced too. I was kinda leanin toward no anyway, just searchin 4 advice
