spacers

Anyone know the biggest spacer you can run on stock wheels, do I just have to worry about rubbing or will running to large of a spacer lead to wheel bearing problems or something else I am not thinking of?

Why do you want spacers for stock wheels? When you buy aftermarket wheels buy some that don't require spacers....

But there's a big difference from a 9-10" wheel and a 5.5-6" wheel.....

thats why spacers come in handy, you get the look of a wider wheel...

What aftermarket wheel REQUIRES spacers for this car? Curious
I'm not talking about a Lorinser wheel or factory Porsche wheel, those wheels were designed with spacers.

any with a design that is too close to the caliper, or a wheel that rubs on the inside of the wheel-well...tons of scenarios for why a spacer would be used on an aftermarket wheel for our cars...in my sig i'm running an 1/8" wide spacer because there is about a paper width space between my caliper and the spokes of the wheel...
