you shouldnt need them if ur riding on stock wheels and rear end. They are really not recommended unless you absolutely need them. Also a one inch spacer will make your wheels stick out hella far, like a paisa car.

ya i definantly dont wanna look like that idiot, i only wanna do it to the rears just for a little better looking stance i wanna lower my car so i figured the extra clearance wouldnt hurt. so if i must use spacers i should only go 1/2" at most? thanks guys always helpful

stock offset with 245/45ZR17 99W front and rear. I just like the look of little wider rear wheels i think it gives the car a much more aggressive stance.

Use a 1/2"-3/4" spacer, and get longer wheel studs (like 3" long)

If you want the look your not gonna get it by adding wheel spacers, either get wider rims or tires or both if that's what your shooting for. because by just adding wheel spacers it isnt going to make your wheels look any wider, they are just going to stick out more...

yeah, do an 8 1/2" wheel with 10 1/2" tires
thats the look you want. you may need to reverse your quad shocks end for end for about 1/2" more clearance. you can drop them right off...but if you wanna keep them. just flip them around

when you say drop them right off are you saying i can run no rear shocks? is there any advantage or disadvantage to doing this?
