Need help with wheels, spacers.

[FreePenguin]

I mean I’ve been happy with my car. It’s my only set up I’ve done,

Your guy’s cars with the spacers just look so much more aggressive and I want that, but I think buying correctly sized offset rims makes me want new rims instead

looking at the LMR sve or whatever rims now. Seems they have correct offsets wjthout spacers and maybe save my wheel hubs or whatever is breaking from using spacers

I read one guy going through like 5 sets on here using 1 inch spacers I don’t want to be repairing my car

If you're clamped sufficiently a spaced setup is mechanically indistinguishable from one that has the offset cast into the wheel. Having spacers does not imply breaking bearings. If you have a 15-17 car there were apparently problems with the hubs and bearings from the factory.

The critical variable is the source and quality of the slave studs and nuts used to secure the spacer. I have no idea whose fasteners or materials the 'inexpensive' spacer suppliers are using. Moroso, ARP, Dorman, etc. are known-good. The key is to make sure the spacer is clamped properly and tightness periodically checked.

I changed my mind, I like my replica wheels, 200 vs 900 seems better at moment.

what is the BEST brand of wheel hub centric spacers? 20mm correct guys seems to be the consensus? I had my car lowered an inch. It needs them bad.


I do have a 17 which has those bearings, how much does it cost for a new bearing?

Would you guys get them or nah? Posting pics in few

shotgun32’s post above mentions some “good” spacer brands.

Would I rub at all with my wheels 19x9.0 45 offset with 25mm? I’ve been seeing photos and it also looks appealing.

Though he has pp and mine are not, replica wheels.

I re read negares post. 20mm will almost be flush, 25mm will Prob be too far out and too many rock chips

 

[FreePenguin]

Ordered four 20mm ones.

Ordered 4 of these, so I will be posting pictures when they arrive.. in 3 weeks... zzz. They are back ordered due to material allocation. But I can't wait. ! Lowered, spaced, just sound deadened the trunk and hatch area. spring can't come soon enough.

I have steedas 25mm and I agree with the previous poster that 25mm front and 23mm rear would be ideal. 25mm actually sticks out ever so slightly

Steeda has good spacer options also. I’d think anything from those guys should be legit as well.

Here they are

Got the alignment done, she’s all within spec now. A few better photos.
