    Question Widened wheel spacers

    What size spacer are you guys using for your widened marauder wheels?

    What's the part# and where do you get them from?

    I don't think they require spacers as long as you keep the 9.5" wheel width.

    Some will need spacers to fit 305 wide tires on the widened rims, I know they would rub pretty bad for me, seeing as my 295s rub a bit

    Not using any spacers.

    I'm using these:

    http://www.maximummotorsports.com/st...roducts_id=576

    Running MT ET Street IIs, 305-45-18s on 9.5" widened stock wheels. There was very slight rubbing on the stock shocks without them. YMMV, though. There are some cars out there that don't need them.

    I seem to remember it has been measured, and won't work. Easy way to find out is to measure (with the wheel on) from lip to shock/shock mounts and control arms. First with the the wheel tucked and then with the axle hanging and see if there's 2" to spare, or 1.75" even. Good luck.
