You dont need spacers. You're fine. If you want spacers dont get cheap shit like those... Spacers can be risky. Your going cheap on something thats going to hold the wheel on... I would not get those at all. Also all you need is a 5x115 spacer..... Its not hard lol


Go here if you REALLY need them...

Www.motorsport-tech.com

Its going to cost about 250$ for a set of 4...


But honestly. I dont think you need them.

You also need to worry abiut the center bore size with spacers and if your wheels have a single or dual bolt pattern... unless you want to trim the stock studs so the wheels.will fit flush... i ran into these issues with mine...

they'll be good for nothing more then the look. And if your going to do that, Roll out those fenders another couple inches, bump the wheels out a couple inches, and put that s.o.b. all the way on the ground.

ask fisdad about that. buying a fancy new set of rims but the center bore was to small. be careful, take your time and dont get hasty when you order. those that sleepy posted looked pretty legit. and I have to agree, if you went with cheap ones and had a wheel fall off going down the road that couple extra bucks on some quality ones would have saved you a lot of grief.

well my wheels are on and have been on but the rim is like not even a pinky sie from inbetween the strut and the tire and right now im on lay off so i need a cheap salution lol for now till i get the 250 so thats why i asked about the craigslist one aswell

Post pictures of gap

Easy solution... if you jack your car up and look at the inner portion of the tire you will see if there is any wear from it hitting your strut as the tire expands during use... if there's no wear, you will see a definite indent if there is then save your money and drive... if there is wear... put your stockers back on til you can afford the good spacers...

What is with you and lay offs man... :lol:

This is how my 235s were with the offset wheel i had. Just rubbed enough to wear the lettering down on the tire, not enough for me to care.

And +1 for Motorsport Tech. They made my rotor drilling jigs (aside from the drill bushings)!

i think thaats what mine are 235s

last job i was lifting between 100 to 190 pound boxes off of semi trailors and loading them onto pallats 53 foot trailors full from floor to ceiling and i hurt my back :/ right now im just doing little things here and there till i can go back to work again been with this job a while... im prob going back to iowa this up coming summer to go back to my old job i was at for 2 years restriping highways roads airport runways and parking lots it was a fun job made 7-900 a week

i will here in 2 hours im in mil town watching my friends kid while there out nothing like driving a crappy dodge darango that burns oil up the ass...

Nice best of luck

well i guess you were right i am fine i couldnt se much but now that i got it up on the lift at the shop its cleared and sitting on the ground its good but i like the idea mrmike? or who ever it was with the 18s and had 25mm wheel spacers those wheels were mean looking...

yes, it does look good with the wheels sitting flush with the outer fenders... but again, don't buy cheap stuff... spend the cash and get the good ones... save until you can afford them...
here is a shot of mine with the same 25mm/1" spacers on the rear...

hmmm i think this calls for a road trip

Lol... where ya headed?? It just hit me as well... keep in mind both myself and mrmike have our cars lowered... this makes it look different as well... if you're not lowered it might not look the same... :)
i miss my car,.. this is such Ã;-) good shot... oh well when the transformation is done she'll be sexy again :)

it would be nice to be lowered if i had 18s instead of 17s i like the look of my car it looks lowered in the front and lil high in the back and well to your house lol i want your spacers and lowering springs

oh and finally found me a pair of gt side panels aka door panels just have to go pick them up
