Default Spacers to create more offset?

I am looking at a new set of wheels but they only come in +19. I am 2013 FX4 6" lift and 35s,would this make for too much spacer to get me to -12 or -15? Is it dangerous?

1.5" hubcentric spacers will get you to -19.

spacer won't change offset, but backspacing.
you'll get more space behind the wheel but that won't create a "lip" in front.

but you can use spacer.

I highly recommend BORA spacers. They are the highest quality spacers on the market custom made when you place your order

I highly recommend staying away from any type of spacers.

Without further information on what adapters he was using, his picture is pointless.

What size, hubcentric, what vendor etc?


EDIT: upon further investigation it seems he was running some sort of adapter/spacer to use wheels originally meant for a jeep with a different bolt pattern.
