Spacers with 18” steel wheels
Has anyone installed spacers on their 18" wheels and can share photos/which spacers they have used?
I have heard varying advice on whether you can use spacers or not, looking for some guidance.

I used my grinder with a very thin grinding wheel for removing a few mm of the studs.
Finishing and rounding with a sanding disk on the same grinder low speed.
Stud lenghts are 27 or 28 mm, for my front spacers of 22 mm I removed 4 or 5 mm
for the rear spacers max 3 mm.
Most important is to check if the steel wheels alingn straight to the spacer.
Wheels and spacers are Torqued to 139 Nm as factory specs.
I used the H & R spacers, see link

Is it just a question of alignment?
The orinal studs need to be flat straight/inside with the spacer.
so only for a spacer of 30 mm or wider, no further action is required
