Easy on him,,We all make spelling errors time to time.geeez
Anyway djkymar to help with your question are you looking for a wider stance?? or is your center bore of your wheel to tight. Myself I would stay away from any spacers ( I have a buddy thats in a chair because of a spacer that broke) but it was in the mid 80's and maybe there much better today. And the one's Billet one's in the ebay add look nice, if you do get some you might have you frontend alignment checked after install...my 2 cents
How was my spelling kpaske...ok???

IMO, I don't think kpaske was hackin' on the spelling...merely trying to understand what the spacers were for, as I was when I first read this post...
seat spacers?, body lift?, wheels?, etc.
Now that it's clear, I'm with VCrossfan, for a wider stance, get wheels with a more neg. offset...just make sure the centerbore is large enough.
In my much younger days, I worked at a couple different tire stores...one wouldn't install spacers/ adapters at all & the other had a waiver of liability form that had to be signed before any work could commence.
Take that info. for what it's worth...just my two cents.

Geesh, if you couldn't figure out what he was talking about from the pictures, you shouldn't have posted anything! Well designed spacers like those show are fine, just be sure to retorque after the install and a few hundred miles.
I ran 1" spacers until I could find the right wheel as the AMG wheels did not line up with the fender as they should. There is no more negative effect of a spacer over a comparable offset wheel - they both change the geometry and increase the load on suspension components but when done reasonably should not cause any huge problems.
