Yes, but I highly doubt anyone will run anything skinnier than a 9 inch width, therefore they will be able to get away with a 25-40mm spacer.
I have never had issues with a spacer, although I would suggest a name brand versus the cheap ebay ones.
I am still waiting on my kit. I reordered twoish weeks ago.
I noticed there is a knock off kit on amazon for 1500.00 whahhhh! but I wouldnt trust that crap. Atleast not the fenders.

I chose to go with an 18 inch wheel. 9.5 front and rear with spacers. Offset is 30mm so i plan to run a 25mm spacer and some phat a$$ tires.

By these wheels, I assume you mean the Forgestars because I heard they were running a 15mm spacer in the rear.

good luck with the wait for custom offsets on the SSRs.

but for a 19, again you will need the smallest offset possible. Are you going for the flush look (ture stretching involved) or a phat tire? or a flat edge?

True, you need at least 9" wide tires in the back to even pull it off with spacers.

40mm spacers sounds big but who makes them? never seen 40mm spacers.

Seen the knockoffs and they look perfectly similar to me but still, you're right.

What wheel if you may share? I'm still having doubts on the wheels too and my kit is reaching me next weekend.

I since decided to go with a 5x120 wheel 18x9.5 with a 25mm 5x100 to 5x120 spacer. 5x100 wheels suck.

Although the post above about running a +22 wheel with spacers sounds about right with what I plan to do. I have my eyes on a set of BBS's right now.

Thanks for the help.
I'm going through the same thing as I'm doing research for my soon-to-be car.
My issue with this isn't the amount of money it's costing me, but rather that the Work Meisters are quite heavy! They're 20-something pounds each!

A buddy of mine has 40mm spacers on his f150. Idk where he got them or what brand they are but they're definitely made.

I am aware that suv's and trucks get up to 3" (70mm), I previously owned a Merc G55 and had 45mm H&R spacers on it but I'm not aware of any brands that have made this size for 5x100 specifically the twins.

You're gonna need a much lower offset than 30 if you gonna go with 9.5.

You can see pics of people rocking 9.5 +30 on stock and there's about 5-10mm poke on stock suspension. Even with the 25mm spacer it'd be about 30-35mm out of stock guards. Just me, but i think it'd look silly with the wheels 30-35mm within the rear Rocket Bunny fenders as they add 65mm to the rears. Front's being 40mm wider, it would work alright but definitely need to reconsider the rears bud.

So the largest people have ran is 11in in the rear? The kit seems wider than what it is. My 930 has 11's on the front. Another option for light my rear ccw's are 18x14 and only weigh around 22 lbs. I think it's 18 for an 11.

I ordered my wheels last night with a +20mm offset. WHen i said 35, i meant the spacer size but i decided to un a 25-35~mm in the rear and a 15-25mm in the front
I wont know for sure but will post what the exact sizes are when they show up.

I think thats based on the fact that its easier and much cheaper to get tires for a 18x10.5 or 18x11 wheel with a low offset.
