Default SPACER question--OLT can you please not move

OLT-I know there are separate forums, but no one answers the SC questions when they are moved. FOr example, my CD changer question is dead once it was moved.

Can you let this thread stay here, pleeeeeeeeeeease

Ok on to my question. Can one put some spacers on the stock rear wheels on the SC300 (98 model)? Are there any drawbacks? Longer lug nuts needed? Appreciate some help, before I pull the trigger on some 19s. Just can't stand the look of the rear.


THanks, and thanks OLT

Hoebag you'll need to go with a multipiece wheel.
Volk, Weds, Advan, Work, Iforged/DPE/Jline etc

or buy my crazy Weds
i would, but your offsets are too low for me lol

and im too scared about using fiberglass fenders up front

should be no problems at all, however, depending on the tire, a *slight* roll maybe... doubtful though...

you *can* but you *shouldn't*

to do it right, you will need longer studs, not nuts, and hubcentric spacers...

it'll end up costing a couple bucks to do it right, I'd wait til the wheels...

Good lookin' out. Those pics were taken immediately after installing the rims, I haven't adjusted the coilovers yet. Here are pics taken 2 mins ago. I've lowered the back slightly and raised the front a notch since then. What you guys think...
