I'm considering throwing a set of spacers on my car to widen my stance. Simply for looks at the moment (looking at 315s for the after-college future), but I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of spacers on all four wheels, preferrably with deep dish wheels. I'm just curious how that would look.

A couple pictures of spaces rears with deep dish wheels would be nice, too.

Sorry they aren't DD Bullitts but here's my car with Eibach 1" spacers on the rear only:

Rear view, before:

Rear view, after:

More generic view:

If you go with DD Bullitts, choose the size right and you won't need spacers to achieve the look you're after.

With 295/35/18's I won't need them will I? But my friends 93 Camaro his tires stick out probably an inch or 2 past the fender and it looks so gay. That's what kind of made me not want to set em out that much..

No, sorry forgot to mention that. Just 1" spacers on the back, none on the front.

I don't recommend anything larger than a 7/16" spacer without going to longer studs on a drive axle.

For reference, the Eibach Pro-Spacers I have are hubcentric and use integral studs:

They fix to the hub using lug nuts of their own on the axle and the wheel fixes to the spacer using the OEM lugnuts. Thread engagement in both cases is complete.

Some spacers do not have integral studs and/or do not fit hubcentrically. I wouldn't use studless spacers without longer axle studs (and even then maybe not...) and wouldn't use a non-hubcentric spacer ever.

ive got the same setup as fluffy, same wheels/tires too. A 9 inch wheel is the biggest you should use a spacer on, any bigger than that and it will look dumb.

I was just curious. I didn't know if people spaced the front tires or not. But the look you have is exactly what I'm going for.
