Anyone have wheel spacers on their a/c? I just got my rims and I want the stance to be a lil wider by like 1/4" or so. I have found that Eibach makes wheel spacers and they are about $61 a pair. http://www.autoanything.com/su....aspx

1/4 " .. that's just about 8 mm, you'll need a different type of wheel spacer than the one you posted... that one'll increase you stance by about 1.5 - 2.5" by the looks of it!

you'll need this type of spacer...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...photo

careful though, using spacers will increase stress load on your wheel bolts... over time, may not be the best idea.. this is why its better to get rims with an offset matching the stance you want. BUt I know, sometimes, its hella hard to estimate that... good luck!

Ask generic, he has spacers on his ride!!

Yeah, I have 8mm just to make up the difference. Good rule of thumb is NOT to go over 5mm, or like Robert said, you'll put extra stress on lugs. But, who follows rules anyways

So where did you get yours from? Did you have to change the lug bolts?
