Wheel Spacers question
What sort of good will wheel spacers do for me? I know, i could go to google, but I'd rather hear your opinions. as far as looks go, looks great. what about performance? Thanks guys
it's really an aesthetics thing. you're actually adding rotating mass at each corner so you're hurting performance. I suppose there could be some handling benefits from the wider track but there are too many variables at hand to make such a claim unless tested on each car individually.
All depends on stock wheel offset and how far you are pushing out! There is a bit of concern with added load on the bearings. Best approach is studded spacers and not push out past fenders. In addition you need to know whether you require hub-centric or wheel-centric spacers. A quality set should run about $150.00 and should be machined from 6061 billet aluminum. Don't forget to locktite the nuts, torque to specs and ready to roll. Good Luck!
You can go up to 1/4 inch with no issues, at 3/8's you need to change your studs to longer ones. Anything longer than 3/8, you need the spacers with the studs built into them. Up to 3/8 inch, there is no real added pivot load on the bearings. Much of the problems you hear about having bearing issues is from guys using spacers like 1 1/5 inches long which I would never do...
