My new 1.25" wheel spacers came in and it was so nice today that I decided to put them on. Don't mind the dirtiness. Its been under a lot of construction. Tell me what you think. I'll have some better pics tomorrow, maybe I'll clean it too. Haha

Huge difference. Looks good Jeremy!



EDIT: And just a thought. You may want to get a little more meat to protect those beautiful wheels. Curbing = your enemy.

Exactly what I was thinking. You gotta hate curbrash. Those spacers are just right!

Looks good.. but it just makes it look kinda unsafe.. I'd be worried about a wheel coming off.. I think that happened to one of the Fox guys.

Thanks for the comments. The spacers I got off of ebay. I'll have to get the company name later. They are solid billet, hub centric and they came just like that. No polishing. The wheels are afs 17x9 03 Cobras. I got tired of how tucked the wheel was with stock offset. But my next set of wheels will be ccw classics made with my own offset so the spacers won't be needed. I love the look of it now. Any more questions.

I'm running 275 40 dr's in the rear. Check the offset of your wheels if you're running a 10.5. They are different from my 9's. So 1.5" maybe too much

It seems like we're running the exact same set up


Before and after shots



Beware of the lip just above your rear tires there, 2 nights before i stored the car, i tore a part of my tire apart on an uneven driveway...get that lip removed or bent up as soon as you can for your DR's sake

Thanks guys. I'm not driving the car much since I just got the new motor started and its not tuned but once I get it tuned, I'm immediately getting the fenders rolled by a buddy that has a pro roller.
