I Too Have A Question About Wheel Adapters
Same situation as Foodstampsz' posting only my situation is with 20 inch by 9 inch wheels. I was planning on purchasing 2 inch spacers all around but when I read DarrensCamaro's reply on how 1.5s work better on the rear I decided to ask the forum. Should I go with 2 inch fronts 1.5 rears, 2 inches all around or is it safe to go 1.5 on all fours? Any suggestions or recommendations? All answers are appreciated.

Re: I Too Have A Question About Wheel Adapters
Is your car lowered? I am not sure about a 20 inch wheel, I guess it shouldnt matter. I would still run 1.5 inch spacers, and you can actually do that all the way around. 2 inch spacers stick out so much IMO I may have a picture what a 17x9 wheel with 255 tires looked like on my car if your interested in seeing that.

Thanks for the feedback, very valueable info on your behalf. As for my ride, it still has it's stock suspension. The back sits pretty high and the front is ok. But yea I'd love to see the picture of your car. And again thanks for the feedback

And I know this isnt the greatest picture, but it shows the whole car with the 2 inch spacers in the front and 1.5 inch in the back. I will be changing the fronts to 1.5 as well but for the time being it doesnt look bad at all, cant really tell any difference.

Re: I Too Have A Question About Wheel Adapters
Have you tried on the 1.5 spacers on the front? Do you have a picture of the front with 1.5 inch spacers?

Re: I Too Have A Question About Wheel Adapters
I dont have 1.5 inch spacers on the front yet because I do not have them yet. The 2 inch look fine and you cant even tell a difference in the front at all, I only had a problem with the 2 inch in the rear because my car is so low. I also did not like the way they looked, that is the reason for me swapping to 1.5 inch ones.
