anyone spaced out their front runners?
im want to see how the car would look if you added a 1" wheel spacer behind your skinny/front runner.
i think it would look awsome with the wheel lining up with the body line insead of it being tucked so far under the front
what do you guys think

ooooohh!! i see...so you want a skinny up front but dont want to have it tucked in so much becase they are so narrow. hmm iIMO skinnies are hideous and should only go on a strict drag car so it doesnt seem worth it anyway
i would be intrested to see how that looks though

Anyways I think it would also look good with it lining up with the body.

And you bash on everyone who has ground effects mw66nova, he was just saying he didn't like them. I think that would look really cool. i like the look of slicks and skinnies but like stated before only on a drag car, but it does look cool.

so anyway........
i have 2" spacers up front since i run 4thgen rims.
without the spacers, they're super tucked... i agree, it looks a little odd. they need to come out an inch.
i put them on with the 2" spacers, and its flush, however, it has that "tip toeing" look to it... just like the 4thgens do when you put skinnys on them.
if you have extended wheel studs, to see how it looks, you can put a couple lugnuts on, then a lug washer, then the rim... but obviously you cant drive like that....
if you get a upper level wheel, like bogarts, you can have them space it out perfect for you.

Man... I dont come over to this forum often, you guys always argue like this? lol
Anyhow, I will be ordering some adapters for the ZR1 wheels next week. When they come in, I'll bolt them up and slap the prostars on and see what it looks like. I kinda like the way they look now, but I also like the way the 4th gens look too. I'll try to get some pics too.
Also, I wonder if you will be able to pass tech at the track with the adapters? Anyone?

I agree with mw66nova, although his responce was alittle harsh the thread starter asked if his skinnies would look good with spacers. The other person may not like skinnies but that has nothing to do with the origional question.
Back on topic. I think the skinnies would look sweet with spacers. I have been thinking of doing it myself just havent got around to doing it.
