robot8282 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I would have used the search because I figure this has been asked, but it isn't working for me. I'm just curious as to what would be a good set of spacers to get for my car with stock wheels? I don't know much about them, but I don't want to get anything super cheap that will crack when I hit a bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 best - don't use one better - hub centric spacer, it's just a piece of aluminum Unless you are talking about bolt on spacer/adapter, then look into how the stud is pressed into the spacer after investing in some good spacer, you are half way there for a set of wheels.

DeltaNu1142 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 An understanding of the goal would be good. If you're trying to clear upgraded brakes, a measurement would help... 3mm? 5mm? You can find hub centric spacers on Amazon. If you're going for stance, try NASIOC forums, brah. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robot8282 Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm not really going for stance, brah. I just want to push out my stock wheels a little so that they are flush with the car. Like I said, I don't have much knowledge about them, which is why I'm asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaNu1142 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Is spacers cracking a prevalent problem? I really don't know. And I don't know whether it would be catastrophic if they did. I suspect not. The use of any wheel spacer puts additional strain on the hubs/bearings. So it's best to try to keep them as thin as possible. So your first step, I would think, is to figure out what would put the wheels flush with the car. Also... consider using longer studs versus installing spacers with studs pressed in.

turboboost Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 H&Rs were recommended to me by AZP, but I'm only running 3mm in the rear. If you want your stock wheels to be flush, you'll need 15-20mm spacers + extended studs, which will strain your hubs/bearings for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
