found a guy selling two inch wheel spacers for the back tires.

and personally, ive always wanted to have the old muscle car look to my 96gt.

bigger tires in back, lowered more in the front and less in the back. so it has a nice stance with wide tires.

but is two inches too much?
and when i lower the car will it cause caster/camber problems?

would i probably have to go with pro kit as supposed to a sportline?

not sure what your going for here, 2in spacers will probably make the rear tires stick out of the wheel well, your best bet is to buy some wider wheels and tires, 10.5" wheels will fit under sn95's and look great!

[mrsinister2424]

2"? That's retarded.


If you want bigger tires in the back, then get bigger tires in the back, not bigger spacers

AND its not really 2". You're actually pushing your tires out 4". And the rear axle is solid, so you CANT have caster/camber problems.

do not ever runs wheel spacers not only is it dumb it is very dangerous if you put a 2 inch spacer on how are you going to tighten your lugs?

Do you even know what wheel spacers are? What do you mean how are you going to tighten your lugs. They'll tighten fine as long as the OP is talking about 2" wheel adapters. Our studs are maybe 2" if that, if they were a big washer, they wouldn't fit.

There's nothing wrong with spacer adapters, as long as they're torqued properly and maintained. But the OP wants a wide stance, with fat tires, spacers won't provide that.

welp as you can see, im not a mechanic.
but i want to learn, i enjoy working on my car and doing it myself.

i apologize if i sound like an idiot but i figure the only way to learn is to make mistakes and ask this forum.

Don't apologize bud ... it was a straight up question and the answer should also be straight up and insult free! It really is not a good idea to run spacers on your hubs ... they tend to loosen off ... if you do decide to try it ... keep an eye on them! But IMO 2 inches is way to much.

just buy some 17x10.5 rims with 315/35/17 tires and you will have he look you want...........

Check your other thread on why IMHO, I wouldn't touch a wheel spacer with a 10ft pole. 10.5" wide wheels are $150 each, and Sumitomo 315/35's are $105 each. Take it from someone a bit older, when you try to take the cheap way out, it will end up costing you three times as much in the end.
