Default 5 Spoke MY02 on a Widebody?

What are my options since these wheels don't seem to come in the right offset.

Use factory spacers - 31mm I believe? I use them for my track wheels which are the narrow body offset hollow spokes.

25 mm spacers on the back axle is all you need.

Any negative implications to using the spacers over a correctly offset wheel? TIA for the help guys.

Ruf uses spacers with their narrow body offset wheels when they do a widebody car; and include spacers when they sell their wheels to a widebody owner (like me )
.....and, i hear their cars go pretty fast

Spacers have also been used by Porsche and are still used. For instance, the Carrera S with 17" wheels came with 31 mm rear spacers from the factory. The 996 gets rear spacers if you order the Sport Techno wheels from the factory. A good quality spacer, if used properly, should be no problem.

I have the MY '02 5 spokes on my C2S with factory spacers. Looks fine and as Viken says - a good quality spacer is not problem.
