'94 GT Coupe, 245/45/17"

I want to bring the rear wheelsOUT with wheel spacers (match the front profile and be parallel with the rear quarter panels)

Any suggestions?

.5, .625, .75, .875 or 1"

Any dis-advantages doing this?


Thanks for your help.

you'll need extended studs to do it properly

didn't think of that little important detail.

thanks

the eibach 1.5 inch spacers have studs built into them they should put the tire almost flush with the quarter panel

Not a fan of big wheel spacers. Are these going to be for existing wheels or are you buying new ones?

western pa?

i grew up there (grove city / slippery rock area)

you close to those?

usapony

just bought new tires and rims

stepped up from factory 255/60/16"

why aren't you a fan of wheel spacers??

Don't like how they make the wheels stick out. The right tire/wheel combo will compensate for that.

+1 i had 1.5 spacers on the bak when i had my 17x9 inch rims... with 255 and it was mayb a centimeter from being flush....

the will add rotational mass so your rwhp will drop some do to the hp required to turn them.... not much tho... mayb a hp or 2... if that

dont mess with spacers, i work for a tire store and ive seen people loose wheels cuz the lugs back off, ive also seen this cutlass with a bbc shatter some adapters like the eibach ones
