I think wheel spacers are more for looks or a bandaid fix to a custom wheel...

1/4" spacers are cool, I ran them on all four of my 99Cobra wheels on my 94...If you run any wider than that you'll need longer wheel studs, unless you get those H&R ones...

Yeah, right now I am running 1/4" spacers on my '89 Mustang. The Bullitt rims would not seat on the 5-lug conversion rotors, but the spacers solved that. Any more than a 1/4", though, you will need longer studs.

i have NT 555 275/40/18 tires in rear, and 245/40/18 in front. 99 cobra. so 1/4 spacers would look good? rear only or all tires? thanks a lot guys.
