wheel spacer knowledge would be greatly appreciated

After messaging back and fourth on this forum my thoughts have been validated with respects to what everyone is doing to get some updated sleek rims on their ride, "wheel spacers."
Now my question is, is there anyone out there that could message me some of there specs on the rim offset they used and also what spacing on the spacer that they used.
I found a nice 16-7 montigi and the offset is a +42 I have no clue if it is do able but if you are running some 16's with spacers your knowledge would be greatly apprieciated with what was the offset and spacer measurments.

Thank you for those of you who have helped

The Z-car wheel spacer I believe is pretty much one thickness. And the wheels that are compatible are all FWD wheels with +38 to +42 offset. It sounds like the wheels you want will work. Nothing wider than 8 inches. 6 or 7 inches is best for clearance on stock fenders and suspension.

I called motorsport and they had a 17inch rim that they sold that had a 35mm offset and it was included with a spacer. When I asked him what size spacer the came with he said "35mm", like I was an idiot. That makes sense to bring the wheel back to a 0 offset, My problem is I just don't want to buy something and assume it would fit. That's why I have been asking around. So now I know that at the least I could find a rim with a 35mm offset and it would fit. It seems like it doesn't really matter, just as long as the rim size stays under or at 7 like you mentioned. Now I need to find a place that distributes wheel spacers for that application.

Any ideas???????????
