mmm... if i wanted my stock tc rims to be more flush.. would it make sense to add spacers?

if so how big or small would i need?

is the stock rims considered to be flush?

wheel guru's! i need help!

 

it never makes sense to add spacers, it makes the wheels not hubcentric and weakens the lugs.

 

sooo.. should i just scrap the idea of making stock wheels more flush?

 

yeah, just get aftermarket wheels, theres really no sense in making the stock wheels flush anyway

 

mm .. ic.. ok this puts a real hole in my wallet now.. but its hard to disagree with nebster... ur wheel advice is golden in these forums..

 

ok well after much review.. i cant afford rims now.. soooooooo despite what nebster says....

what would be needed to make the stock wheels flush? this would just be a temporary measure for now...

 

oh and uhhh.. what does hubcentric mean?

 

id say for the stockies spacers would be your only choice to make em more flush. well at least a temporary cost effective solution.

but im with nebster, save the money from not buying them and put the money towards rims. but thats just me

but yes spacers would work.

 

what size spacers would i need?

 

way to big for it to be safe....

20 mm for the front and like 30 mm for the rear. that would make it a 17x7 et+28 and a 17x7 et+ 18 which is probably still a little bit low for what they should be. but putting a 20 / 30 mm spacer on your car is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS I DON'T RECOMMEND IT AND TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOUR LUGS BREAK IN HALF

 

oh what the hell.. thats scary as hell man... why do they sell these things if they break?

 

5mm i'm ok with, i don't think i'd ever run them... too many horror stories. just search google.

why do they sell electronic super charger or turbo sounding whistles, basically anything to make a quick buck

 

ok... screw it..

mods lock this up.. nebster scared me and ive offically given up on the idea...

 

good, spacers are literally the worst thing ever, just get good fitting aftermarket wheels and you'll be set, spacers suck

 

If you are sticking with the stock size tires you can run a 25mm spacer all the way around. If up the tire size to a 225 I would stick with 20mm.

I have been running wheel spacers for over 2 and a half years with plenty of abuse. No problems and no vibrations.

If you are really concerned with the wheel studs that come with the spacers you can always upgrade to ARP studs.

mmm.. do u recommend a specific brand of spacer? im still a bit concerned after what nebster said... care to shine any light on that?

 

I have always run H&R wheel spacers. The quality is excellent and they are hub centric.
I am not on here to start any arguments. I am just sharing my experience and knowledge.

If you do decide to go with spacers, go with H&R. They are for sure quality products. Personally, I would save the money and buy wheels with the appropriate offset instead of using spacers.

 

where can i buy these H&R wheel spacers?
