Hey every1...I want to get some wheel spacers for the rear of my 95 GT since Im tired of it looking like the front wheels stick out more than the rear, even with them being 17x10.5's with 315's:nonono: ....u guys know how the 94-98 rear end is 1.5 inches narrower than the 99-04's & 17x9's always look like they stick out in the front on the SN95's....Anyway, I was wondering what size u guys would recommend getting for the rear....I was thinkin @ the minimum 1/2 inch, but maybe more...:shrug: I basically want the rear to be flush with the fronts.....Thanks....

heres a few pics so u can see what I mean....

Odds are you'll need longer studs for more than a 1/4"...I run 18's with 285s out back and had the same issue...I used 1/4 HR for a tad more...
verify thread engagement for sure...i got like 8 threads with a 1/4"...MM recommends min of 6 threads for spacers...

I have a set of the MM style I would sell you really cheap sitting in a box in my garage BUT YOU NEED TO REPLACE ONE STUD. The ******* that put my gear in crossthreaded a lug nut on sooo bad i had to break the stud off to get the nut off.. I just used four studs for awhile until I got my new wheels not needing the spacers anymore.. PM me if your interested and I"ll measure them...

Thanks....I will let u know...
 
I wouldn't go any more than 3/8" spacers. You'll deffinetly have to roll the outer fender lip so they don't rub. My 10.5" FR500's rub on big bumps with no spacers and now my tires look like crap :mad:

BTDT. Luckily they were my old Kumhos. I had 1 1/4 spacers on 275s, and it looked bad by the end. Should have rolled the fenders when I had the car painted. Oh well.
