For rims? I was considering getting 1 inch spacers for the rear as well lol.

yea the offset stock on your guys cars is weeeak.

although spacers are kinda scary. if you have the means, you are way better off getting some nice custom wheels with the correct offset. (as in not the offset the online place tells you "fits" your car)

I heard spacer are bad. I would love to use them instead of buying new rims.

there is a guy on s197 selling a set of hubcentric 1"

the issue with spacers is this:

1. you're adding more stress to your hubs, studs, bearings, etc.
2. you now have an extra set of lugnuts to keep track of because you bolt the spacer to the hub, then the wheel to the spacer. Problem is the hub is steel, the spacer is aluminum. They expand and contract at different rates when heated and your nuts will work loose. and you wont even know because those nuts are behind the wheel.

Personally, I wouldnt look to spacers as a viable option on a daily driver OR a drag car/road race car. its just...not a great idea. you gotta pay to play as they say.

Well this is another touchy subject. Some say they are no good and I know people that run them on jeeps and on daily drivers and even a guy running a Porsche at the track with them.

With that being said to each their own, but I do have 4 1.5 inch ones in my garage if anyone is interested. LMK
