Haven't got any on my G as yet but we've used many of all types in the past, whether it be slip on ones with extended studs or bolt on type.
When you stop limiting yourself to buying wheels with 'perfect' offsets, and consider anything and making it work with a set of spacers, it ends up much cheaper. Once the spacers are hubcentric you should be good.
We've used bolt on type on Landcruiser and slip on type with extended studs on 350z. No problems.

Not sure if it matters to you but adding 20-25mm spacers adds a decent amount of rotational mass to each corner...just saying. Can't wait til I can stop running spacers on my G.

if your like me and are a noob to the +/- offset rims, then wheel spacers are a cheaper way to find the look you what. Before you drop cash on aftermarket wheels

Yes, that is probably the shim/slip on type.
Thin enough that extended studs aren't needed

yikes, i hope they didnt drive with those washer on. If you're getting aftermarket wheels, get the right specs. If you just want your stockies to fit flush, a lot of people run them. Just frequently check them every now and then

I agree, the thin ones wouldnt be terrible. However I found the thick ones, 30mm, to cause it to ride almost bouncy. With my lowering springs and those spacers on it, I personally didnt like how it felt. However they did help me get through the winter. just my .02

What the...

What the hell is this lmao?

This isn't a ****ing Honda, homie.

Your car looks ugly, IMO.

Also, your wheels are fake and why do you have a toe strap...?

Agreed.. with my fat spacers and OEM 18 wheels, I can save almost 8-10 lbs per wheel by switching to lightweight aftermarket 18's. Super pumped for when that comes around.
