btw, i think the correct term if you go looking for them is wheel spacers, but i could be wrong.

Sorry but I don't care for the wheels either and it's really not safe to put the spacers in there just to make them stick out. I'd hate for something to happen while you're in the car.

its hard telling... id say 1 1/2" - 2"

oh jesus... the back spacing on these rims would be 4" in the front and 4 1\4 in the rear, would that work?

youre going to do all 4 wheels? that would look horrendous, im sorry. Ive seen that before, and I hate it, no matter what car.

Maybe Im confused then.. Youre actually going to space the wheels out further?

archemedes 02-17-2006 12:39 AM

it used to be called the roller skate look when done in the 80's

green_machine 02-17-2006 12:41 AM

the wheels them selfs have a 4" "back space" i dont even know what a back space is, that was one of my first questions.....

archemedes 02-17-2006 12:42 AM

back space is the distance from mounting point to the wheel lip on the back side of teh rim

green_machine 02-17-2006 12:45 AM

ok so how far would these things stick out?

let me go find some more info on them...

green_machine 02-17-2006 12:47 AM

the front is 16" x 7" 4" back space
and the rear are 16.5" x 9.75" 4 3/4" back space

green_machine 02-17-2006 12:51 AM

are you ever going to settle on an idea?:lolsign:

They look a little like my rims, except mine look 10x better. If they are the only rims you can afford than you shouldn't be buying rims. Just save tour $$ and get some real nice ones later on
