Unhappy Work Wheels Question...

I've already asked and been told that my 18x8.5 5/114.3 +43 offset wheels will not fit the Evo IX. I was wondering if there were any way to go about them with possible spacers?

I've been told spacers aren't really that safe, is this true?

Where can I get the best possible spacers to make this setup work? And I assume I only need them in the front?

Thanks.

with a big enough spacer and longer studs, they should work fine. You are likely to need a set in the 10-13mm range

Do you think 10mm would be enough? Making it a 33mm offset...Do you know where I can get odd number spacers such as 12mm? I figure 15mm would be to big...

Cal,
Do you have a link to anyone that sells the H&R's?

I've found these so far, do they seem pricey? I ask only because I dont know how much I should be spending.

I cannot say for sure what size you'll need..it is going to largely be trial and error
