New member here. How is everyone? What a great website!! CHOCK FULL 'O INFO!Well, got my new Abyss '04 VibeGT about a month ago. Currently, I'm happy with the stock 16" wheels but will be upgrading to 17" in the future. For now, I would like to purchase some spacers that would move my wheel to just about equal with the edge of the fender....maybe just a little inside of it...I was thinking a 1.25 or 1.5" spacer would do what I want. First off, does anyone know of a company that sells spacers like this? I have looked on
http://www.eibach.com/, as they do sell spacers, but according to the website, they do not sell them for the Vibe.Second, is there any load problems or anything along those lines that I should worry about?Thank you all!

i would think so too. it's just the bolt pattern you really got to worry about, right?

Lazy man no likey!

Found my man. He standard cuts these to 1" but will make a custom set for you if you e-mail and ask.
