Wheel spacers for c-coupe
I have the C7 wheel package and was wondering if anyone tried putting spacers behind the rear wheels on the coupe. They seem to set a bit too far IN for my taste. I'm thinking that a 1/2" spacer might do the trick. Thoughts?

Ouch- $95 a pair! I might just get some made myself. Are they just simple hub-centric spacers?
Does the kit at least come with longer lug bolts?
Kwik, you have no clearance issues with 20mm and C7 wheels? I did some quick measurements the other day and it looked like 20mm (or 3/4" for that matter) would cause the tire to come too close to the fender lip under compression? Perhaps the suspension moves in a nice enough arc to clear.
Got any pictures?
