Default Wheel spacers on a stock trans am?

I think they might make the car look a little more agressive. Does anyone have any pics of the trans am rims with wheel spacers? I would like to see how they look. I just think that the stock wheel location sets the wheels about 1/5" too far into the fender.

Any pics appreciated

1/5" of an inch is nothing. you won't even notice it. My Camaro has 1" spacers on the rear. Gives it a 315's in the rear stance without the huge weight penalty and cost most of those 11" wide wheels and tires carry.

no need to swap studs with adapter/spacers..



If you use These style spacers though for sure get ARP studs. I run these 3/8" spacers for my skinnies.

1inch spacers ???... i have old pics with 17x9-9.5 wheels with 1in spacers and they look better...I just dont feel like going to my photobucket to search for them... They do look better IMO, but they set out. and the wheels arent that wide so it looks diff from diff angles.

I have 3/4" wheel adapters and 285's in the rear. I would not bother putting anything on the fronts. Looks good the way it came....I actually bought the adapters so I could run my ROH 5 SPOKES......but got sick of them and tried leaving the spacers on and liked it..

Do you happen to have close up pictures with your 3/4" adapters on?

Here is a good thread for you. You can order them directly from H&R's site or find them elsewhere for cheaper.
