Wheel spacers/adapters

Has anyone used the wheel spacers/adapters off ebay? I have 18x9.5 in the rear. I would like to bring the wheel out one inch so it's more flush with the fender. I should have went with the 18x10.5, but it's too late and I really don't want to buy 2 new wheels and tires. Thanks

Question

What is the offset of your 18" X 9 1/2" wheels? I have a set of 18" +56mm. offset wheels that are just flush with my rear fenders. Can't go any further.

I've had the Z06 wheels for a few years and don't recall the offset.

When using these adapters, it is recommended that you install hub-centric rings. This is to ensure that your wheels are centered exactly on the wheel to minimize vibration. Also, follow the manufacturer's recommended torque settings at various intervals to prevent the loosening of lug nuts.
