Default wheel spacers!

my current setup on my 02 GT is chrome 17x9 03 cobras with 275/40/17 all around and the rear need to come out some more my question is does anyone know what size wheel space will give me the right look so it is flush with the outside and doesnt look indented anymore and also were i can get them thanks!

from what i have seen wheels spacers look a little weird. I would just save up for some 10.5 and 315's. the 9 in 03 cobras would be easy to sell if you wanted to. even if you only sell two of them.

no... the spacer has holes for the lugs and has studs built in

theres a 2.5 inch difference...

sure the wheel will stick out...
