    i have a 2006 grand prix gxp i wanted to put 1'' wheel spacers on the back wheels because it looks weird with my front tires being 255 and my back 225 what do you guys think of just putting 2 wheel spacers on the back wheels so they can stick out a little more like the front wheels do?

    A 1" spacer is not only stupid, its dangerous and causes unnecessary wear to suspension components and bearings.

    my uncle has 1.5'' spacers on his challenger and it rides just as smooth as before and looks better, all 4 wheels have it.

    the front rims are 18x8 and the rears are 18x7 and thats why it has a smaller tire, try and find 2 more 18x8 rims and put them on the back and ride 18x8 all the way around. Sure its not as simple but thats really the only way to make it look right.
