Question Wheel Spacers!

Getting straight to the point, how wide? I think one inch would look great, but is there still enough bolt to screw the lug nuts on safely? I know there are ones out there that bolt on and have there own seperate bolts for the wheels. Any help or advice would be great.

One inch is the way to go. My girlfriend bought me 1.5'' spacers a long time ago and it was too much. I didn't use them.

why not just save up and actually get wider rims and tires? ...wheel spacers look like you are trying to fake the "wide tire look" IMO.

Well I think 275's are pretty wide, and i think a wheel spacer is a cheap and easy way to have them stick out a bit. My tires are brand new, and my rims are only 5 months old. Why would I buy new?

just a suggestion. didnt have those details when I typed that. but, a 315 is quite a bit wider than a 275 as you know, and will stick out in the "right" way if you catch my drift. no biggie, I was just throwin out an idea.

Yeah i guess so. Trust me when i was shopping for tires I was thinking of just buying 17x10.5 03-04 Cobras. I really was. But i was already paying enough for the tires i just decided to go 275 all the way around.
