Aruss87 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Really just looking to see if anyone was running this and liked how it looked. Not looking for a set to buy here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aruss87 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Yeah.. Just from the side. I wanna see how much they flush it up, and see if it looks goos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heedz Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 its not a wide wheel to begin with and to get it flush is going to require 25mm of spacing. at that point buy some wheels its not worth going that far out throwing off all sorts of geometry. Not worth your time or money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Catalyst. Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I considered it for my stock spec.B wheels. I disagree about the "geometry" statement above as it's the same as having a wheels with a different offset. I was thinking 25mm to get an et30 for the 18x7 wheels. Due to the weight of the stockers, I opted to go with a different wheel all together but I think you're fine running spacers (especially at stock height) as there shouldn't be any issues rubbing. Just make sure you do it correctly and get a well designed spacer (no ebay crap). Longer studs and a H&R DRS spacer would probably be the best, but at 25mm you can get some with secondary studs pressed in a la H&R DRM style spacers and use the OEM studs.

Aruss87 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 The thing I think would not look good is just widening the distance between two "thin" wheels.. Sort of a cholo look. (a small truck slammed with little wheels popping out the sides). Not what I'm going for. I just don't wanna buy wheels and tires right now- maybe next spring.....

Aruss87 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 I just wanted to see the rear end of an lgt with some spacers to see if that look could be avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_sharp Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 What spacers are those? What would the equivalent offset be?? PS hope your car gets well. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatisit Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 What spacers are those? What would the equivalent offset be?? PS hope your car gets well. 25mm spacers. i dont know the equivalent offset. i went old school with a tape measure and worked out what stance i wanted. the rest of my car's specs are... Stock tires/wheels on its oem spec B shocks, dropped a bit on jdm pinks (for 2.0 spec b sedan), and I had to get the rear fenders rolled. i didnt need the saggy butt spacers as it sat fairly even front to back.

JFLOW Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 did u hav to take apart the brakes to put in longer studs or was it not that complicated to put in the 25 mm spacers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyscoodle Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 25mm's are usually bolt on style with secondary wheel studs. Very simple install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobyscoodle Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 How much clearance do you have on the front Brembos? Do you think they would fit under the specB wheels with 15mm spacers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatisit Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 How much clearance do you have on the front Brembos? Do you think they would fit under the specB wheels with 15mm spacers? thats negative!. i tried 15mm at first and it was an absolute no no. im sure you can get away with 15mm for stock, but not with the brembo's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 i would avoid spacers. at high speeds your car will feel less stable and it wont drive perfectly straight. i had 13mm front and 25mm on my rear on my jetta and it swerved naturally going at least 50.

Aruss87 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 i just took mine up to 120 and nothing. she drove strait and true Awesome pics! Car looks awesome.. One thing i kinda worried about is how it looks from straight back. Do the wheels look unnaturally far apart? Everything else looks great, your offset and wheel clearance looks perfect.
