none of the above. 1/2". Anything bigger will make your tires stick out too far and look dumb.

I think 1.2 looks good! But would like to see how 1.25 looks like...it might give it a meaner look! Anyways, is there any difference driving with the spacers on? In the rain, snow, ice?

save the 200 and buy fatter wheels. that will improve your traction more than a wide wheel base cause youll still have skinny tires

$200 for wheel spacers? Kind of high isn't it?

You can find them on ebay for 60 bucks. Now I don't know the quality, but it says life time warranty. At american muscle they are 100, and at stangmods 170. Anyways, I woiuld go with ebay on this one! And I would need to see some pics of how 1.5 look like, but I think they are fine!
