Wheel Spacers?
I recently put new rims and tires on my 95 Bronco and it doesnt look as aggressive as I'd like it to. Will wheel spacers pop the rims out a little more or are those for something different?

Wheel spacers are a bad idea...period. They allow increased shear pressure on the wheel studs effectively creating a condition that could cause them to fail prematurely. If you want the tires to sit further out from under the truck, get a set of wheels with shallower backspacing. Just keep in mind that the further out you push the tires the more likely you are to get rub against the fender and/or front bumper.

i second what greystreak says. As well the shallower back space will put more strain on the spindles as the center of the wheel/tire is sitting out further.
