Hey, i was looking into getting 1" spacers for my car so that the rear wheels are flush with the fenders, i got 18x9 saleens so they're alil wider than stock, just wondering if anyone has and opinions? advice, and prefereably if you have some pics you could either post of send me that'd be great! the only pics ive seen were of 1.5" spacers and it looked retarded...i dont want anything that looks like a drag racer, but i wider stance would be nice! Let me know, thanx!

I've always been told not to use a spacer that is thicker than the diameter of your studs......

You don't want "spacers" as such, you want "adapters". I'm not sure anyone even makes a 1" "spacer". The "adapters" bolt to you hubs, and then have seperate studs for you wheels to bolt to. "Spacers" just slip in between the wheel and hub.

I ran a set of 1" hub-centric "adapters" on my factory Bullitts for several months with no problems. Only took them off because I got 10.5" wheels.

They're for sale now if you decide you want a set...
