Anyone running 1" hubcentric spacers with 18" Bullits (stock GT/CS)?

I'm investigating the possibility of installing the 14" Brembo/FRPP brake upgrade w/o having to buy wheels....but I wonder how the stock 18" bullits look like with the 1" hubcentric spacers...do they stick out too much? rub issues?

Thanks!

I had to use spacers but not hubcentric. Had to cut off the end of the studs to get the rims to seat .

Thanks for the reponse.
What spacers did you use and how wide are they?
I assume you have the 18" stock Bullits (correct me if I'm wrong).
So you think by doing what you did I can fit the Brembo/FRPP kit in there?
You have no rubbing isses?

Thanks.

I'm running 1" spacers with the OEM 18" Bullitts and FRPP 14" Brembos.

Plenty of pics and install details on my website (under modifications link):
