PICS! Installed wheel spacers - Need Opinions...Stick out too much?!?!? (NEW PICS!!)

Just got on my H&R 1.25" Wheel Spacers and im undecided if I like it or not. I almost think that its too big but it also looks sorta mean.

What do you guys think? Too big of spacers?

Well there you have it...what do you think? Opinions please!
Thanks!

Yeah the 1" ones are the ones we usually get. They put the rim perfectly flush normally.

How bout a pic of the car as a whole in a well lit area so we can see the big picture.

Somewhat hard to tell from the pic, but if the rim/tire sticks out further than the top of the fender it's spaced too far imo.

I think it is about 1/4" too much, but it definitely doesn't look bad.

Sticks out too far for my tastes. The 1" would look better IMO.

If those are anything less than 275's then it sticks out too much...If those are big beefy tires, I think it would look great...but again...stand back from the car and get the whole back end.

I thought there were several people that had 1 3/8" spacers with 275's on the rear and that they looked good. Maybe not. Plus, I didn't think there was a 1 1/4" size from H&R.

I like the H&R spacers, but their site says something about needing to shave down the original studs for the 1" and 1 3/16" spacers. That's why I figured a 1 3/8" spacer with 275's was normal. I guess the offset of the wheel might impact the look too. I'm sure someone has experience with this, though.

Definitely need a photo from the rear.

You know, if you put some wheel flares on there with matching color, it would look pretty sweet!

Are those 17 x 9s? I have H&R 1" spacers on my 17 x 8's and I think it's just right. I wouldn't go any wider but I more pics are needed.

Where did you guys get your 1" spacers? I have been looking for some but have been told too many different things to know which ones to get...

..hubcentric...etc

Thanks.
