I've been thinking of doing this too. But just in the back. I saw a pic on here the other day of one and it looked pretty good. I've heard its hard on ball joints but that's just what I heard. But on the positive it allows for a wider tire.

I wouldn't launch too hard with them on, you'll end up breaking shit... why not just get some 315's they look better and help you with traction... I don't see any advantages to them besides looks...

I've heard some wheel spacers wouldn't fit on factory wheels, does anyone know anything about that?

depending on what size spacers you get, some will require you to use longer wheel studs

they also make pre studded wheel spacers so you don't have to get longer ones yourself..
