I personally would only run H&R spacers. Excellent quality and never heard of them failing.

Hello
My RCF came with the 19-in hand-polished 20-spoke forged alloy wheels.
my question is, these wheels comes with a deeper concave?
because I dont see enough space to add spacer.

"I dont see enough space to add spacer."
I mean between the fender and the tire.

I'm currently selling my after market wheels, and went back to stock while I wait for new wheels. I went ahead and ordered the spacers recommended here and had them put on Saturday.
Guy at the shop said they were not torqueing properly, they bolts kept feeling like that wanted to continue to torque basically. So I went to the shop, drove the car around for a bit, came back and had it re-torqued, and it was better.
Figured I'd test it out this week and check them regularly, well yesterday when driving home I noticed a sound kind of like metal rubbing on metal, I'm guessing it has to be the spacers rubbing on the hub of the rotors or maybe on the wheel.
I manually re-tightened them with the OEM tire iron and felt the same issue the guy talked about, felt like not matter how hard I pulled I could still tighten one of the bolts just a tad more.
OP, have you ran into any issues?
I think I'm going to remove the spacers and send them back Friday and just be tucking till new wheels. OEM wheels did look much nicer with spacers though /sigh

I had spacers on my first RCF with Standard wheels. I really liked the look, but always felt that I was risking all the safety and performance that went into the car by using the ebay spacers.
If you google wheel spacer fail it looks pretty bad.
So I agree with the other poster, my new 20spoke polished wheels don't seem to show as much gap as the standard and I've decided not to use the spacers again.
