Could use some advise "thanks"
I have a 1990 honda CRX with a willow body kit on it and the body kit extends the actual size of the car wich means the rear wheels look like they are idented. I want to get spacers for my car but the larges spacers that I could find were 30mm (just a little bit over an inch) But I actually want to come out atleast 2-3 inches.
Question: Does anyone know if it is possible to get this large of an extension? Could I add 2 or 3 spacers together? Or would that NOT be possible or safe. Or does anyone know where I could find 2-3in spacer kits with extending bolts to adapt with the extra length? Thanks for your time, I really do apreciate it!

you'd be much better off getting different rims with the correct amount of offset. If it was me, I would definitely NOT use extensions

 On the no extensions. With the bolt on adapter you may have more in it than a rim...

or just lose the body kit. changing wheel offset on a FWD car usually leads to steering problems, and abnormal tire wear/wheel bearing wear. do you really want to go thru all these issues just for a friggin body kit? trust me, a crx looks better stock. or with just a front lip or something.

dont use spacers, if you dont want to ditch the bodykit, get rims with the correct offset

Re: Could use some advise "thanks"
 Even if you go the "best" route with the "proper" backspacing, going out 3 inches will cause the outside of the wheel to move forward and backward A LOT and probably either cut a tire or break the body kit. Plus, as slideways said, the wheel bearings will have a tremendous amount of torque on them and will wear out. They're made to have the load pushing straight up on them, not to be twisted due to excess weight on the outside of the bearing.
