Ive been putting bits and pieces of the spacer pics and painted caliper posts....Now that both are finished, Ive put them all into one post and in sequence:

Here is ONE pic before the spacers:



And A bunch after:

Here are the painted rear calipers:

And one with the wheel on....didnt matter that I didnt cover the whole caliper, since it doesnt show too much with the spacer on:

My friend said I should paint the fronts to match, But I already polished them, and they are PBR's so I wanted to leave them polished, so I did something else:

Comments? "slams" are acceptable, but praises are WELCOME!

They look really good, here's an idea repaint your fender wells black. The darker the fender wells and components the more the red will stand out.

The Specs are 9", but I was told by the seller that they measure these rims differently and that they are more like a 9.5" in a Cobra...If you look at the fronts, they are kinda flush w/o spacers, so I do believe that they are a bit wider than 9s..The front tires are 255 and the rear are 275.

Huh...
I won't lie, the spacers look pretty good...
but i'm looking at that "ONE before pic" and to be honest, i really don't think you need them.

i dunno.
the red caliper paint, looks catchy...
i'm still fence sitting the spacers.
I just hear too many horror stories for me to go that route, although many parts of me want those spacers.

Not that they are really "needed" but if you look at how much inner fender well (black) is showing in the before pic, then the after, then you can see the big difference.

point taken.
your car does look 'higher' though in the before, not counting the space...
did you change your suspension at all in between both pics?

I think the driver's side was jacked up when I took the pic of the pass side...you can also see it's on the boards I need to drive it on to get the jacks under the car.
