Wheel Spacers

brightwhite98GT · Oct 31, 2007

I just got the 1" Wheel Spacers from AmericanMuscle.com, didnt really read any of it, then after I bought them i noticed it said "only for aftermarket wheels, will not fit factory wheels". Will they fit the rims on my car (split 5 spoke, on the '98s)? Could I make them fit, or should I cancel the order?

i've never seen anyone run that big a spacer on stock rims...

usually we use those spacers to make 15" wheels clear Cobra front brakes

cancel the order.

Really? They aren't really spacers, more like adapters, but I was hoping to move my rear wheels out so they didnt look tucked under the car. I hate the way they look tucked under

yea.. how do you make the rear tires not look so tucked under?... can we ever run 315s?... How about 285s on a 10.5 inch rim?..do they fit ok?

you can fit a 315...

i ran a 295 on an 18" rim and had room to spare

i just switched to a 315/30 18 for when my car is done

I ended up getting them anyway for the hell of it (had to see for myself lol). They fit perfectly fine, and the car looks pretty good. I think the aliagnment on the rear end needs to be adjusted a little though. I think the camber (i THINK thats it, I cant exactly remember which is which as far as wheel aliagnment. The top of the tire needs to go in a little, and the bottom needs to go out) but it definitly fits and I think it definitly helps the way the car looks. I'll put up a couple pics and you guys can tell me what you think.

i heard something about wheel spacers ruining your wheel bearings.

i've never heard of aligning the rear of the car... unless maybe a irs .....

Also, thats the first i've heard of the runeing wheel bearings..
