Do you mean more than it is already movable?

Have you read your owner's manual? I assume you are talking about the steering wheel and not the wheels on the outside.

Look in the index for "Steering wheel-adjustment" and it will tell you how.

Lots more good stuff in that little book.

Sorry for the confusion. I am talking about the 4 wheels outside if they can be extended outward 1 to 2 inches.

I am not lowering but I want to spread the 4 wheels a bit wider.

I know what you mean, I'd like to do that as well. I don't know what you would need to do though.

One inch would be possible with spacers, but it would spoil steering and suspension geometry.

That was my thought but I don't know that is the correct approach.
I am afraid the wheel(s) might come off while driving if I put a spacer.
Spacer is the only out?

Now that I know which wheels you are talking about, moving this to Tires & Wheels.

OK. I just did a search on WHEEL SPACER found out a lot of people are against it.
Forget about this mod.
