Why not buy wheels with the correct back spacing and offset?
My stockers are 16x7. If I search for a 16x8 there's usually only 4 or 4.5" backspacing. Plus, all the wheels I like are in 15" which wont fit my stock brakes.
If you read back through this thread, I mentioned the same thing as far as I might as well just get new wheels. But I can't seem to find much out there. I don't need new wheels really, mine have some corrosion but over all I like them. Cant find my stock color in the aftermarket either. It's either black, polished or chrome.

Cost and availability.
Very true, not much selection on 16s vs 15s. Plus even a really cheap wheel is $100. Plus mounting and balancing my tires onto them. Go figure that anything I'd rather purchase will be $200 each. I can get all 4 spacers for about $130 from 12*N.
