Thanks for the read and the videos Larry. Very interesting. Just to make sure, our center bore is 108 mm right?
Here are the three companies I checked out.

From what I can tell, the material is the same on all three. (Billet 6061-T6 Aluminumn) The price is the only difference I can tell.
EX. 1 - $220
EX. 2 - $120
EX. 3 - $140
What do you think guys?
Peace.

I really want to get a set of wheel spacers. Are you bringing your stock wheels to the edge of the fender? Thats what I would like to do. I haven't measured and don't know if its 1" or 3/4".
I've got a set of Tom's window brackets that I'm going to sell (mine weren't broken it turns out..) and try and finance a set of these spacers (the nissan/toyota ones).
Hey do we have to cut our studs down for the Isuzu stock 18" wheel to fit?

I would avoid wheel spacers. They put more load bearing on your hubs, which means bearings go faster. My advice would be to just find a wheel that has a lesser offset (wider wheel + lower offset = more aggressive wheel well stance). It's a balancing act though. Too much negative offset can still put more load bearing on your hubs.

I’ve had spacers on mine for the past 3 years without any problems. The ones I have were custom made for a Toyota. They’re ¾ inch. I hand torque the lugs and used loc tite.

Yeah, I went with the with #2. Material was the same, quality was the same so I got them. They look good.........I put them on this past Saturday. My 285/60/18s Nittos are about 2.5 years old so the thread is a little worn. I know when I buy my new Nittos I'll have to do a little trimming.
We have a mini meet here in Dallas this Sunday, so hopefully I'll get some nice pics.
Peace.

Tom, did you have to grind off the stock studs any?
I was getting some stuff done to my VX, and I had the guys at the shop put them on. It was a real quick process. I forgot to ask them about it.
Peace.
