Question about stock rims...

I wanted to get rims this summer but because money does not grow on trees i decided it was better to save my money for the coming school year and not be broke. So I was wondering about a quick fix to hold me over till next year hopefully. Can I do something to my stock rims to push them out so they are flush with the fender and not pushed in, that has always bothered me about the car. I have already talked to a few people and they are giving me an anwer I don't want to hear, so I'd thought I would ask you all before giving up.

Ever heard of wheel spacers?

Its funny, a good pair of spacers are well over $100. Many go with a 15 or 20mm in the rear but if you want to push all 4 wheels out you'll need a rather large spacer. The fronts are out further than the rears stock by about 12-13mm so you may want say 10mm front and 25mm rear. But you will spend so much money that you may as well find a decent set of used wheels.

Yea but 2 pairs of good used spacers is still not cheap. I got a set of wheels with tires for $100... I see cheap deals all the time on wheels.
