Wheels spacer Q

Another newbie question....

Can wheels spacer be install in on the front and rear wheels ?

I have seen many cars with OEM wheels but with spacers in the back and it give a mean look, but what about the front ?

What is the goal of using spacers? If you buy the correct wheels with the correct offset no spacers will be needed.

Yes, you can install them on the front. Many people have to do so when installing larger brakes and/or rotors on the front. It's a common method to improve clearance in these cases.

I am having my rear wheels widened two inches. The additional width required me to move my rims outward 1/2". The "correct wheels with the correct offset: doesn't mean much if you don't like the "correct wheels with the correct offset." As was my case.

Oh so you want your car to look like this hideous thing. Cool!
