Anyone in here with 94-98 body style have the 1 inch wheel spacers? How do you like them and does anyone have pics with the 315 rear tires? Thanks, I am trying to decide if I like them or not. My girlfriend says it will look like those trucks with the wheels sticking way out.

I have 25mm and with stock 245s they sit perfectly flush. So, 315s would probably stick out.

Not coba281, but I've got the same 17x9 (275/40s) and 1.25" wheel adapters installed. Here are some butt shots. Sticks out ever so slightly.

My '99 Gt has 245/17's with 38mm (1.5") spacers in the rear. Tires extend about 3/8". Look good but about at the edge of believability. Your 315's would extend another 2 3/4" and look not unlike a skateboard.

Man I love that color...Your car looks great....



Sorry to derail... To the OP, if u want to get wheel spacers that thick, u need to run smaller tires....

I had 17X10.5's with 315's on my 95. I ran a 1/4" wheel spacer & it sat perfect....

So would 1 inch spacers be ok on 315s and not stick out?

Ok if thats the case, 1/4" to 1/2" spacer tops. Any more would look like a roller skate IMO...

No prob. just remember that if you do 1/4" spacers u can still use the stock studs, but 1/2" u will have to install longer & stronger wheel studs.... I will see if I can find pics of my 95 when it had the spacers but I dont think I ever got pics.... 1/4" with 315's & 17X10.5's looked perfect IMO...

Appreciate the props and right back at you EPIK. As far as these spacers/adapters go, why not mount them up and see what's needed to get them flush if that's the look your going for?

Best way too. MM suggests no more than 1/4" spacers on stock studs.
