Make sure you do something with threads drilled into the spacer when going 1inch.. having a wheel bolt or stud going 65mm or so will shear if
unlucky...
I had these made up.. can get you a quote if you can't find something online.

it might be cheaper to re do the off set in the steel wheels
as the maching costs to make nice spacers i think would be more expensive
Or the alternate may be to get narrower tyres

i have already had wheels offset, we did it as far as we could.....looking at tyre width i did think that but the edge that is hitting will still hit
if i go thinner, as the thickness balloons under that edge, hard to explain..ill take a photo. thinner tyre edge would still be in same or very close
to same spot....and to get what id need id have to compromise too much on the tyre choice....i may be able to get around it but coming up an inch in
rear ride height..but again...this is a volksrod, and i want it to look a certain way....spacers i would think would be easiest fix, tubbing rear
flare area probably the most legal way....

Oh nothing is bent. It had 10 cm spacers I've got rid of those. Got maybe 6 cm with offset. Axle and from change. I'm expecting couple hundred for 2
spacers. Am I far off?

12 mm spacers are only $40 a pair..
Those ones i have which machined up, drilled, tapped - come in around $100 for the 25mm flange and around $120/hr to machine up.. close to 250 a pair.
Hurts a little but you know the job is done correct and you wont fail. I wouldn't go near those cip1 25mm spacers.. there is no surface area and the
studs have to reach 65mm.. way too much length to be safe.
if you need help making these up drop me a PM. can get them done for you.
