this will be the set up.....

eibach pro spacer kit (still deciding on 1 inch,1 3/16th inch or 1 3/8 inch) stock 17x8 rear rims with 275/40/17 nitto 555R tires..

i just want to know if they are safe to use with my stock wheels and the 275/40/17 nitto 555Rs , i dont want to be driving hard and have my back wheels come off lol that would probably end my life short ... but if they are safe to use then i do really want them to fill up the ugly hudge gap that infests my back fenders. come on guys... help me out here

>1" I heard is okay. I have 275s on my '03 and wanted to do about 1/2" or 1". My research and feedback indicates it won't cause any real short term issues. However, over the long term the <insert some suspension term here> will be out of whack or wear down. Sorry I don't have any greater details, but I decided it was not worth it. However, my car is lowered with 275s. Stock with 245s...I know how ya feel. Either way, I'd probably lower it before I put spacers on.

I wouldnt use them because they put additional strain on the axles and the studs. No thanks.
