    So awhile back when I had my Bullitt rims on, I liked how much they stuck out. It wasn't too much, but enough to make them stick out a nice length. I want to achieve a similar look with my stock rims. Now those Bullitt's were 8" wide where as my stock rims are like 6 or 6.5" wide. So I only want like a .5" spacer. I found these on Amazon, would these work?

    They'll work with longer studs but I'd suggest getting some that are hub centric.

    You don't think there would be enough stud? I was kind of hoping I could just slap those on and call it good. I'll pass then.

    A rule of thumb is that the length of the engaged thread area of a wheel stud should be 1.5 times the stud's diameter. Wheels sticking out is bad anyway.
    All Grand Prix, all the time. 69 Model J, 99 GT & GTP coupes. All junk, haha.

    Get spacers they said, it'll be fun they said. Then I lost a wheel.
