Wheel spacers Ok, I've been trying to talk the wife into letting me get new wheels and it doesn't seem to be working for me. I really hate how the wheels on my car look in the rear due to the fact that they sit too far up under the fender well. After begging to no avail, I've decided to try and find some good quality wheel spacers to get the wheels to sit flush with the edge of the fender. I saw these http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog/ and wanted to get everyone's opinion. I'm not sure what thickness to get either. Here is a picture of my car as it sits now and I also did a photoshop with the back wheels pushed out toward the edge. Let me know what you think especially if you have experience with these or even a different brand. Thanks guys.
how about replacing the factory wheel studs with longer/stronger ARP wheel studs and get the thicker spacer. warning though! the improper backspacing doing so with that wheel may cause damage/stress to the hub and/or wheel bearings. check with a good tire shop to see if this would make for a dangerous idea. hope you get the look you are going for.
Man, just save and save until you can get some new wheels....or how about buying mine i want some of the new TTII's 
BTW...i have 1/4" spacers in the rear. I'm not sure that i would go any bigger than that either because i don't think it would have much of a stud to sit itself on. Honestly i hate having any spacer at all for that reason.
