Wanting to make ws6 wheels stick out more out of fender. Spacer>? 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.

i wouldnt use a 1" to 2" spacer. definitely get longer/hardened studs and run something like 5/8's max. depending on tire you will probably rub in the front.

I just put on a set of 1 1/4 in. wheel adapters on my T/A and it looks like I have 315s on there, I'm lowered and it looks killer. The tires are just inside the fender. I heard the tire rub once so I'm going to roll the fenders to be safe. These are billet wheel adapters that cost $150. It gave my T/A a new look. Easy to bolt up and safe.

to me it looks mexican when you have a small wheel and try to have ti sit out real far. from the back of the car it will look horrible. a wide stance and no tire underneath the car
problem solved!

Narrow minded! 
mexican Nice answer! It would be nice if the administrators would find this stuff and kick you off the site... Due to I am sure there are a few Latin Americans/African Americans/and so on in this site? I only ask that you be respectful to everyone?

Its not like he said anything horrible about Mexican's. The only people I ever see with little wheels/tires sticking out are black people & mexicans. And thats not a racist comment, just a fact. It's just a look they like to run on their cars.

This just shows how small minded you are, and maybe you should get out more offen. I never even said anything about racist anyway, just to be respectful to your fellow enthusiaste. Not trying to keep this thing going on and on, just please be respectful.

Back on topic and to the OP, I think thin wheels sticking out further do like kinda ghetto IMO (sorry if that is not politically correct
).

he didnt even mention african americans in his post, so why even bring that up? and things like this get posted all the time, wasnt even a big deal. Its not like he was calling anyone derogatory names. People say stuff about "white" people too on this site, but do I post everytime I see something about it? no, no point, bc I dont get butt hurt about things like that.
