Do wheel spacer make your tires come out further? Is that street legal?

Yes, wheel spacers will make your tires mount out further. Most get these when they want to run a wider tire, which will keep it from rubbing. As for being street legal, I'm sure there is a limit on tire width but don't know off hand what it is.

Where can you buy 4 lug spacers? Only seen 5, and does it make your car handle worse or anything any negatives about them? I hate how rims on foxes dont come out flush with the fender.

I've heard bad things from people who try to use them in their front wheels.. personally I'd only recommend they be used on the rear. No difference in handling or feel, I've got a 1" spacers on the rear & it really makes the car look a LOT better! Rear wheels don't look so sunken in now
