Wheel spacers...?
Discussion
I've noticed that the front end seems much different when changing back from Cerbie wheels to the original OZ's. It does seem better planted.
This is probably the equivalent to fitting spacers in a way, because the cerbie wheels' smaller offset means they were running closer in to the centre of the car.
So you'll probably see some effect, although if you push it too far it'll probably ruin the feel.
Also be careful you have enough stud left to get enough turns on the nut so they have enough engaged thread. I reckon on at least 9 turns (that's what I had before on the rear wheels until the 16" OZ's go on).
Furthermore you might have to watch out for rubbing on the outer wheelarches especially under full lock or suspension deflection.
You can make your own with 1mm ally sheet adding extra thicknesses to build up the optimum offset. At least you can experiment and take them off if they don't work.
