does any one have a picture with 1 inch spacers in the rear with the stock ponys i have a 265/55/16 tire on them i want a wider stance without getting other rims trying to keep the exterior close too stock
and another thing could spacer the stress from the launches

I wouldnt trust a 1 inch spacer. Plus that 265 tire seems a bit wide for a pony wheel....sidewall bulge anyone?

theres nothing that isnt safe about it, the spacer will bolt to the studs, and the wheel will bolt to the spacer

do it if you want to replace wheel bearings every couple thousand miles...it puts a lot of stress on the bearing, I guess you can see why

I would do a search and you will see why peeps on here stay away from a spacer that big. too many wheels flying past people on the freeway. Your car though. Sorry I can't help with pics.
