mostly for cosmetic, unless you have 11" rim with wrong offset. or widen factory rims.

I rolled the fender and have not had the tire hit the fender.

I bought some 1" hubcentric spacers/adapters from ebay and I think they were worth every penny, got them for $70 shipped. They give the look of 11" rear wheels without the hassle. I am not lowered yet so I dont have any problems with the wheels hitting the fender. I will try to get some pics soon.

I had my spacers custom made for $100 each, because they were not available 1" hub centric. Now I beleive they are readily availabe, ebay and H&R for example.
