Default ebay wheel spacers

Has anyone used them? I seen 1.5" and 2" wheel spacers that im interested in. I think the one's on AM are too pricy.

What spacer do you guys recommend for a 97 GT?

I would go with the 2" but idk if its safe. So, i would greatly appreciate anyones insight on these wheel spacers; particularly if you have used the ones from ebay.

I have no idea on the quality of the ebay spacers, but i had no problems with my H&R wheel adapters when i had them. Just make sure they're hubcentric.

What is the difference between hubcenteric and non-hubcentric wheel spacers?

vargas...

Will you get rubbing with either of those sizes?

If you do not know the answer to this question, you should NOT be installing spacers of any thickness. Either way, I think installing a 2" spacer is a VERY bad idea and highly doubt that you would not rub running one.

What could possibly rub?
I hate how the wheels are tucked into the vehicle and wheel spacers would be a cheap alternative to wider wheels; for the meantime.
