what do wheel spacers really do? would it make my 9 inch rim look like a 10 inch rim? or does it matter what width the rims really are? thanks

they make the tires stick out more, insted of looking like there stuck inside of the fenderwell. Makes it have more of a "mean" stance to the car.

Changes the backspacing on your rims. If your backspacing is 5.5" and you add a 1/2" spacer it changes your backspacing to 6.0". This will move your rim out from the rotor/hub a 1/2" more. Spacers tend to put more stress on your wheel studs tho.
