IS THIS TRUE and if so WHY?????? It sounds like that shop doesn't sell spinners, and wants you to buy wheels from them. Although spinners are not my idea of a nice set of wheels, I see no reason why they would not work on a FWD. the spinners have no idea which wheels are driving the vehicle. Don realrapbc 11-06-07, 04:26 PM yea it sounded weird because i saw a cadddy just like mine but blue with spinners on it. He does sell spinners but he said they will poke out about a mile SO TO SPEAK.. Dadillac 11-06-07, 08:09 PM yea it sounded weird because i saw a cadddy just like mine but blue with spinners on it. He does sell spinners but he said they will poke out about a mile SO TO SPEAK.. Well now, we went from not working, to not looking good. I will agree with the shop. With a RWD car, the offset of the wheel is deeper than a FWD car. So the spinner will sit "inside" the wheel of a RWD, and "ouside" of a FWD. Will they work on FWD? Yes. Will a spinner look as good on a FWD? No. Don codewize 11-06-07, 08:31 PM 'IF' they won't work there is only one reason I could think of. Offset. FWD cars have an offset as such to leave no 'lip' on the outside of the rim this leaving no room for the spinner. EDIT: OOPs. I guess I just said the same thing as Dadillac. Sorry. hearseman85 08-10-08, 12:45 PM all depends on the wheel. are you going real spinners or cheap bolt ons? i did bolt on spinners on a fwd fleetwood hearse and it looked like ass. the spinner stuck out way to far and looked like garbage. if u do bolt ons get a rim with a nice lip to sink the spinners in. and get the short adapter lugnuts for them, not the long ones the come with submariner409 08-10-08, 08:25 PM Spinners look like crap anyway, especially on a Deville. Very urban.
