What are you trying to achieve by spacing steelies. It will be ugly and serve no purpose.

I have my 14s with a half inch spacer. I still have probably another half inch to eat up in the front and rear. I think theyd look like ass since theyre 14s. Get some 16 inch steelies and we'll talk.

Are your spacers solid or do they have lightening holes? Steelies need almost a full contact face because their hub is designed as a spring washer, which is why steelies dont need to be re-torqued after 50 miles and alloy wheels do.
