No pics, but there is a noticable visual appearance. I should have bought the larger size to pull the wheels out even more. Here a link to the part: http://rss.rpmware.com/rss/rss_wheel.../i-300804.aspx. I did not space the fronts.

For an 8.5" wheel on the front go with the 7m/m. For an 11" wheel on the back you can go either 15m/m or 18m/m. I prefer the 15m/m as I don't care for the tire protruding out from the fender.

Thank you Ruf.

May be I am just a cheap a$$ but I noticed that 5mm for the front is cheaper since you can re-use stock bolts.

Will 2mm make a diff? I prefer to have a more protruding looking in the rear but I also feel "unsafe" not getting longer bolts with using 5mm. It's my understanding 5mm + stock bolts is 100% safe.
