Explanation needed on Wheel Spacers?

[cobrasvtcoupe25]

I want to get some 315’s out the back someday and I was wondering if I should put wheel spacers in.

I noticed 04 Sleeper put ¼ MM Wheel spacers in the rear. Should I do that?

What are wheel spacers?

What are the benefits of wheel spacers?

Who needs them?


Sorry if its a lot of questions

they push your wheels further out of the fenders.. its mostly all looks unless you go crazy fat with your tires.. if you get some get hubcentric style.. i had 2" on my car and it shredded my tires witin a few days ... so lesson learned, dont go to the extreme lol

If you are getting 315's on 10.5" rims you do not need spacers

Yes I plan on 315's on 17X10.5 rims in the rear. So you think no.

Why would 04 sleeper do it for his 315's you think?

For Looks?

maybe he still has the original IRS bolts... (this causes the tires that wide to rub on the bolt on 17" rims...) just a guess.
