Default Wheel Spacers

Hey all, so I've been having an Idea in my head of having my car look mean front the front, and had an idea of installing some wheel spacers. Preferably hub-centric wheel spacers. I want my wheels to stick out of the fenders just a little, you know, like having a wide stance. Anyways, will any hc spacers fit? I found ones that fit the monte carlo in peticular (02-07) but they're 25mm, barely an inch.

You're going to do just the fronts?

I say no to just the fronts, but if you did them all I would look into 1" in front and 1.25" in the back or 1.25" up front and 1.5" in back. Depends on your clearance with your rims.

Also, I would get mudflaps or something because you'll be spitting rocks all over your paint with them pushed out like that, which is probably why they're so far in, in stock form.

Honestly, what I would do is get proper rims and tires that give you the stance that you want, sure this would be more expensive, but it's the right way to have it done...

No, it'd be front and back lol that'd just look silly. I don't like the look of the mud flaps on my car, it's not a truck lol. Yeah, shelling out a grand or more on wide tires and rims might do it, but the turning clearance might not be to good with wider rims and tires in the front, plus fat tires on the back of a low powered fwd drive has no purpose and would look silly lol. I'd rather go with spacers to get a nice look without worrying about turning clearance from the wheels.
