People run 1" ones to push out the stock rears closer. It looks a lot better than stock. Still not as good as having a wide rim out back but still better. Just be careful for inspection. As here in PA, 1/4" is the widest you can have or you'll fail inspection.

I recommend you find some aftermarket wheels to your liking

Running a 1" spacer is just not the same as a 10.5"... eh Lefster?

I think those things are dangerous, I thought about getting them and then happened to see a guy on the side of the road missing a tire. Being the nice guy i helped him out and upon a quick look they backed off and snapped. One more thing to come loose or snap. recommend saving up and get some stgrd rims or a taller tire if you want to fill up the rear well.jus sayin
