Default Stock wheels and spacers

Anyone know how far I can space out my stock 16x8 rear wheels?

Or should I just eye-ball it? Looks like an inch would work?

Thanks!

Don't forget longer studs for any spacer more than 7mm.

^ don't worry :-)

Inch spacers are easiest to find. But I'm thinking conservatively and don't want to roll my fenders at all..

Bump: Is any one running inch spacers and stock offset wheels?

I don't think you can go more than a half an inch without working on the fenders.

I'm running a 17x10 et64 with a 32mm spacer on my 86. That pushes the outside edge out 13mm and the fitment works great with stock fenders.

Thanks Andy,
I guess I better find a way to compress my suspension a bit and take some measurements!
