Default Which wheel spacers?

Looking to kick out my back tires a little. I'm running 245/45/17's with a rear end out of Fox. Not sure if I should go with 25MM hubcentric's made my H&R: http://www.americanmuscle.com/h-r-spacers-25mm.html
or
1 billet spacers:

Im just trying to get the rears to match the quarter panels.

Thanks,
Matthew

Matt,

Great choice, I love the look a set of wheel spacers gives you. I'm confident you'll be very happy with either of the above choices. The 1in' spacers will be flush & the 1.5in' set up will put you just a tad past the fender. Here's a quick comparison for you.

1in' Spacers

1.5in' Spacers


Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance.

- Dan

Thanks to both of you. I think I will go with the 25mm. Question to Morten - Do you have a problem with the fenders cutting into the tires? I am lowered so I dont want my tires getting all cut up over every bump.

Thanks,
Matthew

Instead of spacers why not just get a new edge rear end. You would have to swap all your gears and such over though.

Not at all actually. I was worried about having that problem, but after measuring it like crazy, I got it to be 30mm without having to roll the fenders but I went with 25mm since 30mm were too close to rub the fenders IMO.

Edit:
"too close to rub the fenders" as in the tire would be like 2mm from hitting the fender with 30mm. And my car is lowered too.

This is why not. I just had my rearend rebuilt not to long ago so I dont want to pay for another rebuild when I have new gears and posi installed already.

Also - thanks MMR.
