Wheel Spacers

What do you guys think of this? I added wheel spacers to make the wheels flush with the fenders, looks much better in my opinion. Seems to handle a little better too...

Here's a picture of the spacer installed (has black magic marker writing on it).

Re: Wheel Spacers

It looks about the same, maybe if I saw it side-by-side with a stock one. I like my tires just inside the wells though, even with the outside makes it prone to rock-pickup chips, particularly on hot days with sticky tires.

Re: Wheel Spacers

Did you need to get longer studs?

Also, how wide are the spacers? 5mm?

Re: Wheel Spacers

Can you get more pictures close to the ground and directly in front of the front wheels, left or right side.. The spacer looks like an inch think? are they? Did you use new bolts and how much did it cost totally to do it?

Thanks,

Re: Wheel Spacers

The spacers are 25mm thick. You bolt them on with the factory lugnuts and then you bolt the wheels on to them with lugnuts you buy or vice versa. Here's a picture so you understand...

Re: Wheel Spacers

25 mm huh? Yeah, that's what I meant to type, not 5 mm.....

Anyway, can you post some shots from directly behind the car so we can all see the stance? Be sure to kneel down kinda low to get the full effect.

From what I see so far, I think it looks really good.
