Don't do spacers for a daily driver/reliability. Did you search the forum or google?

I think you mean this is the first thread you have started. Also I definitely would not run that much spacers.

No. Spacers dont widen the wheels they space the wheels further out. The reason why people get wider wheels is for more of a surface patch for handling. You are going to run like 40mm worth of spacers for something you are going to daily drive. This is a dumb idea. Dont be cheap and buy wider wheels. That much spacers is dangerous. I would not run anything more then a 5mm spacer.

Imagine holding two weights at your chest and feel the stress on your arms. Now extend your arms perpendicular to your body, feel that stress on your arms. Does the extra stress at an extended period of time sound good on your car?
