Any thing done to a car to give it the apperance of performance without actually adding any performance is rice.

Actiualy, i was going to get 10.5 inch wheels in the rear but im told thier weight negates the gain from the extra width. So im going with 9inch wheels, and im not gunna dish out all that money for a tucked in set of wheels. Sooo going with 9 inch wheels and spacers over 10.5 inch wheels is actualy for performance, thus not making it ricer.

Besides, ricer is and gving your car a clean look are 2 totaly different things.

I use 1" spacers in the front cause my Prostars don't clear the calipers. Am I an exception to your rule also? lol

+1

I didn't want/couldn't find my wheels is 10.5". I also wanted lighter wheels for street driving. My 9's are only 21.5 lbs which is a good bit lighter than even the stock wheels.
