wheel spacers

Does anyone have any pics or info on wheel spacers and if they are even worth getting? was just lookin on www.optauto.com and saw them. i have 18" mr7's and i want them to stick out a little more to be more aligned with the body. not a big deal but just wondering.

The H&R spacers are very good. The problem is that they have been backordered for months. I would suggest phoning them to see if they are in stock yet. I ordered mine from the website and they don't tell you they are backordered. I cancelled my order after about a month. They billed my CC at the time of my order in early October (which btw is illegal) and I've had to get my CC company involved to try to get my money back.

Note to self - Only place orders with Options on the phone.

The spacer size depends on your rim width and offset.

Some 5th gen guys are running 9 inch rims. With the proper offset, it can be done.

I have 18x8 38 offset rims and they with fit no problem.

I thought wheel spacers were bad for the suspension of the car. I know back in the day, people who ran with wheel spacers were guaranteed to have to do some sort of suspension repair down the line. Is this true anymore?
