They should be fine fit wise. However appearance wise you may not be as happy. It'll make the front wheels stick out a tad more.

I used them on my 17" wheels and it always annoyed me.

Skulte makes great spacers.

try them if you don't like them, sell yours and find some 2" ones. Can't hurt.

If you dont like the 2.25 look. have em turned down to 2inch ones.

I have some 2inch ones on my S10 with SS rims right now. Soon as I put em back on my Vert Im turning the front two down to a 1.7 because of my Z06 brake setup.

Then i'll just make more on the lathe and mill for my S10 again.
