Wheel Spacers?

[pagan_blood]

hey guys i was thinking of getting new wheels, but decided to stick to the stock 17's for now. i really like them for but the only thing that bothers me about them is how deep inside they look. I was thinkin of gettin wheel spacers to give them a little more offset, do you guys think this is a bad idea? if not what do you suggest?? does anyone have photos of stock wheels with spacers??

thanks

That's a great idea man. That's what I am thinking about to do to my front wheels because they have the same 60 offset as the LS stock wheels, only these are 8" vs 7.5" for LS.

But:

The thin 3-7mm spacer might be ok for the lugnuts, but you most likely won't see any difference except maybe from vibrations in the steering wheel from loosing the correct center fitment.

The other option is the wheel adapter, maybe the one with same pattern from 5x108 to 5x108. Probably an inch thick. But then you have to have it custom made for precise center bore for LS and the LS' wheels, to minimize the possibilities of vibrations. But I don't know how strong are those things.

I am thinking about that also, but I don't know yet what am I gonna do bout it.

i had to put spacers on mine to prevent the 20's from rubbing the brakes. i did have to get the alignment adjusted after putting them on to prevent the steering wheel shake.
