Spacer & Offset question
I just purchased a used set of 4 x 20 inch Donz Sopranos here in Ireland.
The wheel size is 20 x 8.5 all around. Offset is either et35 or et38 according to Donz themselves.
I'm going to need hub centric spacers all around, that have their own extended studs for them to fit.
How wide will I be able to go with the spacer? H&R's range goes from 20mm to 30 mm, and I'd prefer to keep the rears wider. Ideally, I'd like to go 20mm in the front, and 30mm in the rear.
I'll be running either 245/35/20 or 255/35/20
I'm not lowered either, but may do so on datasystems soon, but I won't be looking to replicate the tucking the wheel under the fender look, so it would be very low.
So good sirs, will I get away with the spacers I'm thinking off with the above specs?
Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

If you're doing wheel adapters, (the ones with their own studs) you have to go about 38mm or 1.5 inch wide because the studs on the car are this long and will stick out otherwise. This will not allow you to mount the new wheel flush against the adapter, unless you're wheels have clearance back there.

Many on here run Kics hub-centric spacers, with their own nuts, at much lower sizes than this.
He's mentioning that if you use an adapter that is less than 25mm thick, the original wheel studs will protrude. Most wheels have clearance for such insatnces but some wheels do not. This wheel has clearance pockets.

Thanks for that, always get an education here!
The wheels are in getting a refub with the wheel company, and I forgot to take pics, but I'm almost sure that they have the clearance pockets like those.

Hmmm, just looking at other videos of Donz rims online, and they don't seem to have clearance pockets so perhaps I'm mistaken.
Would 25mm in the front, and 30mm in the rear work, assuming there are no clearance pockets?
One person has said I need 38.1 mm (sounds very wide), and another 25mm. Any definitive answer?
