its time to get that car slammed if ur gonna run those wheels. they look tite tho. but 1" spacer :nails: u may wanna go get some extended studs. seems a little dangerous to me

if you did not compesate for the tire size (does not look like you did). you will be racking up the miles faster than you should. plus the speedo will be wrong (reading faster than it should)

not my style....
how much did you have to shave off the brakes???

1 inch seems like alot but its the same spacer I was using with my factory wheels to get them flush with the body

no need to extend the studs used a bolt on style spacer like this one

I would be scared to drive a car with 1 inch spacers...

Doesn't seem worth it all that trouble you have to go through, but if you really liked the wheels, then that's your only option.

Cool. I tried 13s but I couldnt get a tire with an appropriate load rating.

I ordered them at a local tuner shop near my house but I think if you call any wheel shop they should be able to hook u up.

I also found this place on the net,

Looks good! Do 14s work well in winter conditions? One inch spacers, very cool, I hope they are ok for you it was a great eBay deal, by the way...
