i was looking online, and they sell these wheel spacers that puch out your tires a 1/2 - 1 inch past the fenders. what do you guys think about this? i am not sure if i like them or not, so i want some feedback. thanks.

 

I am not a fan of wheel spacers.. i heard some negative things about them in the past.. can't really go into detail because i forgot..

but everyone seems to be getting them to clear big brakes with smaller rims..

 

I am ONLY using the wheel spacers when I am at the track when I am using my small 15 inch racing wheels/slicks to clear my 300ZX brakes. I think wheel spacers for an everyday use may look "too Mexico-ish", if you know what I mean (Ever drive in the Southeast and see the Honda Civics with little go-kart tires pushed out 2 feet past the fender?).....

 

yea i gues i see what you mean... but i really do not want it space out any more then a half inch.... maybe even less. i think maybe with my h&r's, and agx it may look ok with my 17's. ahhh, i am so confussed... i don't wanna be rice!

 

i have heard that some will give you a vibration in the car and from some i heard good things. I like how the wheels stick out some... looks more aggressive. Our 4th gens have a weird rear beam its too short and the wheels are tucked in more. I loved how my borbets stuck out in the rear becuase they were so wide... now that I have stock 16s on it looks dumb tucked in and all

 

I agree with Ramius83 about the Civic look. That's just plain ugly.
I'm about to install front spacers to increase my front track a bit. 15mm-20mm shouldn't be overkill I hope.


What tires and rims/offset do you have today?

right now i have 17's enkei shoguns for rims, and my tire size is 235/40/17. yea i know i should have 235/45/17's, but i like the smaller sidewall.
