Installed Rear Wheel Spacers!
Really wanted my wheels to be closer to the fender in the rear to give it that mean look from behind, so i got a couple 1" wheel spacers from late model restoration.
the install is very easy. this set didnt include lug nuts, luckily i had some already i could use. fit great and work great. the part that took the longest was adjusting the panhard bar lol
anyway what do you guys think? i think it looks pretty good

your tires are too narrow IMO, should have got some 285/295s and skipped the spacers for the proper and meaner look.
Why did you have to adjust the panhard bar? are you lowered?
also, cobra and shelby would be the same since cobras arent manufactured anymore btw

Looks good! I did the same thing with some rear spacers from Eibach. I am very pleased with it too.
Of course, putting some wider rear wheels and wider meats on there would be cooler and all, but for the money, on a new ride with new rubber, I like it. I am usually one to immediately change wheels and tires on a new ride, but I have never been more fond of a factory wheel than I am these 19" stockers on the GT Premiums. They just look right, and I don't want to mess up a good thing. Spacers were the answer for me too, for a more full rear fender well.

thanks! even at the stock ride height, the rear end wasnt centered on my car. when i lowered it, it became even more off center. with the wheel spacers, it makes it much more obvious. using the adj panhard bar, it allowed me to recenter the rear end and it looks great with the tires at the end of the fenderwell
for $70 why not do it?
I agree. Thats why I'll be getting 275s and putting them on the rear. Yeah its not the ideal size for 18x8, but everyone knows 235s are small on the 8" wheels, and there are tons of people running 275s on 8" wheels. it will look good, and the performance will be better than the 235s, even if they are slightly pinched. id rather spend $70 on spacers then $1500+ on wheels/tires/tpms.
yes the rear is lowered on steeda sport springs. even stock the rear end wasnt centered exactly. when you have tires that go out to the fenderwell, you need it centered or else it looks stupid.
and the cobra im referring to is the company who makes things like radar detectors
yeah i really like the factory 18s i have painted black. and for the price, it definitely was worth it to me.
