This is the way I see it.

I have 8" wide stock wheels off a 98 GT SOOOO I should be able to put 1.5" wheel spacers on them and it will be the same as having 9.5" wheels , Right? I shouldn't have any clearance problems should I. That is still under the 10.5" wheels that alot of you guys have. Talk to me, I'm about to order some from MM unless someone knows where to get some good hubcentric, high quality ones cheaper>>>
 
i don't know if i'd say it would look stupid. The most i'd go would be 1" but there is a thread with pics about the sizing question and 1.5 was a little big for me but it worked. Spacers make the wheels flush on our cars.

EDIT: Actually i meant 1.25 was a little far for some people. 1.5 might be a little too wide. Check this thread out http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=464444&highlight=spacers
 
I ran 1" MM spacers with 98 Cobra, an 8" wheel....that 1" will put them right in line with the fronts...Some dude gave me some 1 3/4"...they looked like a Dukes of Hazard set-up....NAH...that wont work...
Stick with the 1" in my opinion....heres a look/see on the 1"
