Default Custom Spacers and aftermarket wheels. Question

There doesn't seem to be many options for aftermarket wheels for the F-Type other than spending over 5000 for a custom set. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with mounting a rim with a different bolt pattern using spacers. Are there any negative effects?

Please do a search before you post a new thread like this.
This has been discussed extensively before, and it creates confusion to have multiple threads discussing the same issue.

I have searched and found nothing. Perhaps I could have been more clear about what I was asking. Im looking to get spacers that have a 5x108 bolt pattern to bolt to the car, and then maybe a 5x120 bolt pattern to match the aftermarket wheels im looking at.

I suppose anything could be made to order, why not contact Lenny who made the adapters in the group buy and ask him.

What you're looking for are adapters, not spacer. I have no first hand experience/knowledge. I think if the adapter is high quality and the installation is proper then they should be fine for normal use. But I wouldn't use adapters if you are planning on tracking your car. All speculation on my part. Good luck. Let us know, Im also in the market for some wheels.
