anyone ever tried putting spacers on rear wheels ONLY(slicers)

Anybody tried doing that? Does it handle better-look better?

sounds like a real bad idea. Why would you want to do it? Are you having tire/spring clearance problems? I doubt it would affect handling much unless you did it up front. If you do it, make sure you have plenty of tire/fender well clearance.

Bad Idea? I not talking spacing by much Im just thinking by putting spacers it might give it a better wider grip in the back..I have no fitment issues...Just thought the gen2 back wheels look a little more like they are on the inside the body/frame than the front and by doing that it would even out the look of the car/rear JUST a suggestion -Any one opinions?

If you spaced it enough to be noticable (1/4 inch maybe?) it might make things look better, but, I doubt it would make handling any better. It might make it worse. Can't hurt to try, I guess. There is also the issue of stressing the lugs since the rims are now further out on them. This is probably a non issue though with undriven wheels.

We actually machined out a set of those spacers, 1" offset If memory serves, for someone last summer. I forget who it was or if he still has the plans.
