alright!

well i found a set of 98-01 Ws6 rims in really good condition with nittos555 all around. Now I want to have the wheel stick out of the fender to give it a more bad *** look? 1inch or 2 inch spacer? Anybody got any pictures. My car is lowered in the rear too.

No way I would run a spacer that big. Hell I refuse to run spacers period. If you want the wider look get wider wheels, otherwise your gonna put more stress on your studs with the spacers. Especially a 2" spacer, thats huge.

instead of buying spacers just spend about 300 to get your wheels widened.

NT555 is no the same as NT555R.

Most people don't run DRs on the front.

Your better off buying after market wheels that will com out to the fender.

That said, I have TSW volcanos that come out pretty far and I still plan to run a 1/2' spacer.
