Wheel spacers
I want to put some 25mm wheel spacers on my car. I just know that I could run into issues with rubbing the wheel well. I have stock suspension for now but would like to eventually switch to a 1.5'' lower eibach spring kit. Im guessing this will cause problems if I put in wheel spacers. I currently have the stock 17'' wheels from Honda as well. Is it possible to run a wider tire with spacers? So many factors. Does anyone have knowledge or experience with this? Thanks.

ive also been looking into wheel spacers but im looking into 5-7mm. i dont know for sure if you could run bigger tires and lowering it that much i dont think there would be any problem. what i do know is you are going to be kicking up rocks and debris thats all going to scratch up the side of your car. you would have to get some fender flares which wouldnt look to sharp on a monte. by the way does anyone have some pics of a monte with spacers?? but for sure ask around befor you take my advice.

these are mustang rims btw in case you wondering. 18x9 on 255/45/18 tires and lowered with ssc springs and of course stock struts and suspensions. as far as as spacers or fender flares you do not need any. the only problem with going wider tires and lower is you going to need to roll fender lip and will feel every bumps you hit and some vibrations.

i don't know about losing hp, but i know they make the car heavier. each rim weigh 30 lbs.

It's putting a Furd item on a GM car... it's like oil and water they just don't mix :P
obvious joke was obviously not known.
