do spacers actually make a difference cause i know for larger tires u kind of need them so they wont ride on the wheel well but im afraid if i get them the tire may rub against the lip of the side fender, would they be adjustable?

i dont think they are adjustable, i think all of them come in like a standard 13mm. but you have an 05, so your able to put bigger tires on there without hitting the lip like say my car.

Yep they do rub..well mine do..oh man where do i start..i got the 1.25" spacers off ebay and im runnin 245's in the back and my cars been dropped 3" and everytime i hit any sort of bump u hear this "WHOOMP"...no longer can i ride any backseat passengers..did it when i first got em and had to pull over about a half mile down the street and have a friend come and pick them up because my car was basically grinding the whole way on the back tires..i ended up with a .25" gash in my left tire..didnt go flat but man it ate it up..!!Nice story huh..Maybe u will take a second thought about em!

get stiffer rear suspension and that won't happen.
roll your fenders if needed.

H&R makes some high-quality spacers in numerous widths:
H&R TRAK+® Wheel Spacers || Products || H&R Special Springs, LP

I know road racers who don't hesitate to use spacers. I know other people who think they are tools of the Devil.

I will eventually try some half-inch spacers to bring the front wheels out to the edge of the fender, like the inch-wider rear wheels are already. We'll see.

Seems to me someone who lowers his car three inches has to expect a little harsh behavior with regard to ride and utility. Same for someone who uses inappropriately wide spacers.

There are good reasons to use wheel spacers. There are good reasons to NOT use them, too. If in your judgment they suit your purpose, and you don't mind working at it to get them right, why not?
