ok so i have thought about getting some wheel spacers. i just want to give my blazer a wider looking stance. i dont know much about wheel spacers except that they push the wheels out more. does this harm any of the steering components or anything like that at all? also what kind of wheel spacers should i look at i was thinking of getting 1.5" to 2" spacers put on or something close to that. also since to me wheel spacers r just hard metal that has studs on it that screws into ur old studs would i beable to fab up a set of my own (i have access to a welder) so am i just able to weld the studs to the spacer itself w/ the correctly drill holes?

That clip with the RX-7 was the wrong lug nuts, not spacers IIRC.

Wheel spacer's on a sealed hub front end I don't agree with putting them on!! If you put them on a spindle type hub they actually don't do to bad. Just be careful and check your spacer's every week or if you feel something isn't right!!!

Haven't had a single problem with the spacers on the front end.
