It will move the tires out 3/4". Doesn't sound like much, but it does put the tires right at the lip of the rear fender.

having run vettes with 20" wheels , the downside is you sacrifice sidewall height , and i gave up ride quality big time...

Best for what?
Best price?
Best for tire selection?
Best for racing?
Best looking?
When asking for the best, it's always best to further define best.
