      Wheel adapters are acceptable, but also keep in mind you have to retorque them every so often, requiring double the work to get to them.
      I would avoid any spacer above 1/4" like the plague, even with longer, higher grade studs.
      Specially on a high performance car that will be driven hard in turns.

      Why is that? I am running very large spacers (I believe 2.5" front) due to my C4 ZR1 wheels... and I can tell you I have been driving very hard in the turns.

      EDIT: I realize I wrote spacer when I meant adaptor. Mine are billet 2.5" adaptors with the larger 1/2" studs. Agree on not good to run large SPACERS.
