Default spacers so my tires stickout

I have 19's on the back and i want my rims/tires to stickout a bit. I am thinking maybe going with 3mm or 5mm spacers. I will be lowering it and i don't wanna roll my fenders.

What do you guys reccomend?

Also Dangerous.. Your Taking All The Weight And Moving It To The Outer Side Of The Wheel Stud, More Prone For Failure..

You might try an 1/8" spacer. I have 1/8" IROC spacers on the rear of mine. You can get them for a couple of bucks on Ebay.

i have 1 " spacers that come with studs in them...
NOT ONE PROBLEM, car handles fine, no noises and lemme tell ya...it takes those cheesy 9" rims and makes em look great from the back...however, they sit FLUSH with the fender, sticking out looks dumb IMO...like a lowrider, try to get em flush...

hey its cheaper than 11" wide rims...

my $0.02

1/4" spacer will not hurt unless you are racing.......

Running spacers on the rear with stock lugs is dangerous, racing or not...I've seen lots of broken studs and damaged cars on the street...

these are what you need. dont buy spacers/studs because they can be a pain to install, i tried it on my 02 t/a and i would have to pull the axle apart to get it done.

I think you need wider rims, adding spacers just makes you car look like a bowl legged ***** lol.
