I highly recommend not using "slide on" spacers! I've done a lot of research and seen a lot of video in which the studs break and lead to the wheel literally falling off. I'm using 30mm (1inch) bolt on spacers on my rear wheels and haven't had a single problem.

I use 19mm spacers front and rear, they are 18" Work Rims with a 38 off set then the
stock 43 off set wheels. DO NOT USE LONGER WHEEL STUDS.
I use Motorsport-Tech spacers motorsport-tech.com if interested.

I would never use spacers.....research wheel sizing right the first time and you won't need them.

I wouldn't use spacers either.... If it ever does go wrong it will be an expensive lesson if not your life or those in the car with or around you. Make the investment in a custom 3-piece or 2-piece wheel that will give u the perfect fit and a better look.
