Personally, I don't like the look of wheel spacers.

I LOVE my wheel spacers. I will eventually get DD rims out back, but I got these cheap and they are awesome.

1.25" hubcentrics,

Well I just put them on, and they look awesome. I want to get DD but am going to wait until next spring. The wheel spacers will do for now.

It's always better to get Hub-centric wheel spacers, rather than wheel-centric, since the hub-centric take the majority of the weight off of the contact points on the wheel studs..



Oh, and someone was skeptical about spacers giving a little bit of a better feel in handling: Think about it.. You're moving the tires further out to the edges of the car/weight, therefore, you're increasing the stance.. Negligble, but still there..

Yeah, it's probably all in my head, but he asked for an opinion and I gave it to him. Just saying what I felt from the spacers...

I have 1.25" on my 96 GT w/ a 1.5" drop and the only problem I had was if I back out of a driveway the wrong way I happen to bottom out on the fender and chew up my tire. Now I know how and where to back out of driveways so my tires stay nice. I like them a lot, they make the car look a lot better.

They completely changed the attitude of my car. It looks terrible with the wheels inset like that.

i want some chrome 17x10 DD FR500 but they are expensive so while i save some money i decided to buy 4 bullits the guy who sold them to me threw in the package 2 275/40/17 and a pair of H&R 30mm wheel spacers and it looks better at least till i get my new rims
