Default spacers on rear tires for the bird???

i wanted to get spacers for my rear wheels to off set the straight on look of my tires. i dont have the money to get new rims (05 vette rims) considering i just bought these and i cant afford new tires right now. i wanted to know what other TA owners thought before i decide.

I was thinking about this for my c5 rims. I will probably go with the 5/16 or 1/4 spacer on my rear tires just to move them out just a little. Good luck

grab some hubcentric wheel spacers, get a 1 inch or 1.5 inch, its about 70 bux for the pair,.. . my buddy did it on his 03 cobra, .. mmmmm, . . its not a regular spacer, its a spacer with studs pressend into it, so its safe . . .25 inch or 5/18's wont do a damn thing

I used 3/4'' on the rear of my 98 TA. It filled the wheelwell better.
The spacers had new studs in them.

They are called WHEEL ADAPTERS...I have 1" adapters on the rear with 285's...they bolt to axle..then you bolt your wheels to them..very safe.
