Wheel studs and spacers or wheel adapters ?

I am in need of one or the other with hub centric mounting, wheel studs and spacers or wheel adapters in order to fit two different sets of wheels and tires on the front of my car for racing events only, no street driving. I really want to say spacers and longer wheel studs are the better rout or are wheel adapters just as good? I need about 20MM. What is the hive minds opinion on this matter as this is my first time dealing with this matter.

I don't have any experience, everything the net says is from teenage kids and the "slammed, stanced, or hella-flush,yo!" Crowd.

I went wheel studs and hub centric spacers, needed 18mm.

Two days at VIR so far and haven't broken anything, yet.

Studs and spacers will probably be stronger and is less stuff to fail.

For 20mm of spacing, I agree. For much larger spacing (say the height of the stock studs/bolts), then I would do adapters with studs.

Another vote for studs and spacers.

+1 for studs and spacers, I'd say for 30mm+ you should go with adapters.

depends on how much you're pushing out …

for just a few mm then spacers and studs … if 3/4" … maybe even 1/2" I'd go with adapters

Ive run hundreds of laps on a full race c4 vette with v710 slicks and hubcentric spacers. No issues, except changing rotors trackside became a pita.

In addition, im running 2.5 spacers in autocross on 200 treadwear tires in a 4000lb musclecar. Primarily street driven. No issues after a couple of re-totques.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the input. Spacers it is.
