Default Wheel Spacers

How do wheel spacers look/perform for stangs? Also how wide of a spacer should I go?

If you get spacers without studs, you will need to be checking your lug nuts torque more often... also I wouldn't go with too large of a spacer unless it has studs. The spacers won't do much for performance, it'll make it look a little nicer, but bigger tires do that much more nicely

Get a hubcentric spacer with studs, and nothing under 3/4" in the rear, otherwise you'll never notice them.

For this mod I am just trying to improve the looks, so if i dont gain any performance out of it its fine. Is it ok to only go w/ spacers in the rear, and if so what is a reasonable size to go? Im only trying to spend about $50. Thanks
