hey i my wheels will be coming in on monday and i wanted to get a nice flush look to my car and i heard that these spacers or shims or whatever you want to call them from one ton garage are the ish. so...my wheels are 18 x 7.5 and was wondering what size i might need to get to get the look that i desire. Thanks

X,

Go to http://www.onetongarage.com and order the 10mm rear spacer shims. Paypal Van the $65 and you'll have them in a few days, USPS Priority.

I had them, and would still be running them if it wasn't for the fact I wanted camber.

 

hey thanks a lot squirrel you always bring good news to people
i'll email him as soon as i get the money cause the wheels were pretty expensive plus i have to get some rubber and then do something to my wheels that i hope everyone will like.

Thanks again

waht offset are you running anyways??

 

X,

You're welcome. I'm just here to help peeps out. I don't want peeps spending their hard earned money on mods that don't work, or pay more than they should have to.

I'm not an expert, but tend to know what works and what doesn't. There tends to be alot of misinformation, and I just want peeps to know.

 

Yeah... thank god for Brad's camber or I wouldn't be as flush!

 

 

its +40 if you want to see the website i got them from its http://www.godspeedinc.com/TE37.html and i got the 18 x 7.5.

the shims will make them sit a lot better. 5mm up front and the 10mm shims in the back should bring it closer to flush. add another 5mm spacer in the rear and get that staggered look. subtle and that should make it pretty flush.

 

has anyone ran into issues with the shear strength of the bolts shipped with the OTG shims (attaching the hub to the suspension arm)? Had a tech look at it, was concerned about the 8.8 grade bolts instead of something stronger...

thoughts?

 

I was also conerned about the bolt strength. I thought the same thing! Anyone else have some input on this matter?

 

Top I would like to know also

 

me too as this may be the next mod

 

I have been on my shims for about a year now with no problems. I am an agressive driver & there are a ton of potholes around this area.

Not one issue with the bolts to speak of, other than the flush look you would never even know you put them on. Half the time I forget they are even installed until I see another xB with the rear wheels sunk in LOL !

Buy them, you will love them & Van is a hella cool guy IMO.

 

Here's what you'll be expecting:


running 18x7.5 +40 offset

I have the shim and camber combo. Excelent stuff, built very well

damn, so it pushes it out 10mm? bummer...I have 10mm spacers up front for a reverse stagger, guess I'll just stick to the camber plates...unless it pushes it out 5mm

 

You could run the camber shims & get the OTG 5mm wheel spacer. depending on what you are trying to do that might work better for ya.

Just a thought

 

hheyyy...not to shabby of an idea!! thanks!
