Factory wheels, aftermarket spacers?
The gap between my factory rim/tire and the inside of the fenders bug me. Wider wheels and/or different offset wheels would correct this but I don't want to spend the $$$ for all that. Anyone running spacers all the way around with factory wheels? If so post some pics I would like to see how it looks with the wheels set further out toward the fender lip!

Re: Factory wheels, aftermarket spacers?
Looks like you'd need a kinda thick spacer to fill that gap. I'd look for wider steel wheels, or a wider rear end tunnel. I installed 8" steel wheels from Summit at my 74's rear, and 'm planning to do the same in the front, or order them in 10" and move the 8" to the front. They aren't that expensive. With a wider wheel, you don't need such a thick spacer.

I'm running 2" spacers all the way around and I think it's perfect.

Re: Factory wheels, aftermarket spacers?
You bet! I hated how far my wheels were into the wheel well too. Looked goofy. These things were a great purchase and totally changed the look. You'll dig em

Re: Factory wheels, aftermarket spacers?
what size tires are you guys running on your stock tires? I want to run a 235/75R15, that would work correct?
