Wheel spacers?

[black_96gt]

I am looking to order a set of spacers for my rear wheels. Is 1/2 the most common size? I am running a 17x9.5 rim with a 275 tire. I just want the rim to sit flush like in the front... THANKS!!!

 

[DropTopPony]

how far does the wheel need to come out before it is flush? Thats the size you need...

I know a 1in wheel spacer is perfect for 17x9 with 275s.

I have 1 inch on a 9 inch rim...One more .5 inch wouldnt be noticeable. GO one inch.

I run a 1" with a 275 too. Looks good. Just make sure you get hubcentric spacers...those are the best. I bought mine on ebay (see link)...good quality.

I know my car is an Edger, but it will show you the difference that spacers make.

9inch wheels, 275 nitto 555 tires

Pics are grouped in twos...1st is without spacer, 2nd is with a 1 inch spacer.

random side pic with spacer.

looks good, so the 1 1/2 would be to much huh?

yeah, remember the edgers fenders flare more than the sn's

so with the 1 inch i shouldn't have any trouble with the thing coming up and bashing out my fenders right?

I wish i could, i still havent found my camera battery charger. I got to show yous guys my wheel spacers, a sound clip of my flowmaster 44s and a "Surprise".

here's mine...1" spacer with a 275/40r17 on a 96GT. (not the greatest pix...will try and get some better ones tomorrow)...and yes, it needs to be lowered.

one inch looks good, do those wheels have the same backspacing as the 95 r's?

I dunno what the BS is...they are '03 Cobra's...17x9.
