Wheel spacer pics?

Hey i was looking at some wheel spacers and i wanted to know the pros and the cons and maybe see a few pics, thanks

There were wheel spacers on my car when I bought it. I think they are unsafe, and add more stress to the suspension. Needless to say I took them off.

I bought some from a fellow Stangnetter but haven't put them on yet. Kinda worried about them actually

hub centric spacers that bolt on to the existing lug studs and have their own are not a bad idea as long as you get a reputable brand like H&R. Maximum Motorsports makes them too, and everyone here pretty much likens them to the gods of mustang suspension. You want to stay away from the ones you get at like Autozone that simply go over the studs and sandwich between the rim and rotor, those are quite unsafe and can cause you to toss a wheel right off the car. Honestly, for the $150.00 you're going to spend on a good set of hub centrics, you might consider either saving for a nice set of rims all around with 10" wide rears, or if you have bullitts already, just buying some 10" rears to match your fronts. Just my .02. Good luck either way man.

Smokin.....a 1" wheel spacer will add no more stress to the suspension than having a 17x10.5" wheel out back where you once had a 17x8 stocker. it's all leverage.

I just bought a set off of ebay for $57 shipped brand new.
I have installed them, and I like them so far no problems or mods were needed.

keep an eye on this guy

and they are hubcentric I asked before I bought mine.

mine with 06 GT wheels.. 1/4s up front.. i think 1" in back

I basically have to though, because these wheels are 32mm offset where as stock wheels for my car are around 24mm

I had 1" spacers on my 17 X 9 rim. It did give the appereance of a much wider rim, but on a 400 HP car, I felt is was unsafe. To each is his own I guess. Just my .02

1 inch spacer in the rear. Had them for over 2 years now with no problems. Numerous high speed runs on the Autobahn.

That looks great. I've really considered this since I'm broke and I hate how my wheels sit inside the fender too much. What size are you running in the front?

Do the factory lugs fit on their studs though I wonder. I wouldn't want to not use a wheel lock.

I've posted these a few times but you asked for pics .
H&R 1 inch.

I used 1/2" spacers in the rear with my 18x10 rims and 315 tires.
