Default Wheel Spacer?!

hey guys, i have stock 2000 si wheels, and i wanted them to come out a little further, would wheel spacers be a good idea for this?, will i have issues, like too much stress on the ball joints?, id like to go like just a hair outside of the wheel well.

thanks

dont get them unless u have stronger, longer aftermarket studs. u also don't need them, a risk not worth taking..

dito... i wouldnt do it, to much money for the longer harder wheel studs plus more dirt and junk slaped all over the side of your car

the screw/stud would get messed up ot break cause it wont be getting completely screwed on.and,this might not be true,but if you do end up doing that,it will wear out your tires faster?the car will kind of be squatting if not done right?

no it wont eat the tires......

im pretty sure that doesnt change your geomettry at all..... but even if it did then all it would take is a simple alignment...
