2.5 inch wheel spacers.Did a srch.Help pls

I know this topic has been beaten to death....but I did a search and i have got mixed awnsers.

Basically its this, are 2.5 inch spacers all around too big for 4th gen firebird rims (16's) .

Would the wheels stick out too much, anyone running this combo?

Anyone with pictures of 2.5 inch spacers on this wheel?




Any help would be great.



Nate

i have 1 and 3/4 inch spacers and my wheels dont stick out...why would you need that much of a spacer for that? my rims (the ones im selling) were for 4th gens and these spacers work perfectly... check again the depth and spacing you need before you buy these rims
