I want to give my Eddie a wider stance!

[00MTEDDIE]

You know that stock look of the 2000 eddie where the fener moldings stick so far out from where the tire is? i cant stand this look anymore! so how would i got about this? I know about using like 2 inch spacers, but arent spacers bad for the wheel bearings? I need some insite on this. I just wanna know how reliable wheel spacers are these days and what size i would have to buy? I dont wanna make it rediculous but just to look good.



Thanks,
Brett

wider......

Easiest/safest way to go about this would be to get different offset wheels. That is still going to add a bunch of load on your wheel bearings and balljoints. The other problem you are going to run into will be a lack of clearance at the bumper and rear of the front fender when you turn to the lock. The increased offset will increase the radius that the tire follows when when you are turning......

offset which in other words is called backspacing right?
