[MENTION=21104]BTM[/MENTION] are you running spacers on track?

[MENTION=21104]BTM[/MENTION] are you running spacers on track?

Yes, I am....

Generally considered not the best idea, but mine are super high quality (Motorsport Tech, not cheap Chinese junk), and I check for fastener torque regularly. I have the nuts holding the spacer to the hub at 120 ft-lbs with blue Loctite, and they have not loosened since the day I installed them. The lug nuts holding wheels to spacer are at 140 ft-lbs, and they also have not loosened.

But soon I will switch to Forgestar 18x11's so I can run 315's at all four corners...

I as well have completed 3 track days with spacers. Yet, I went with the eibach setup. I have buddies running the coyote/american muscle stuff and they have yet to have any issues either. Yet, to BTM's point I also routinely check them. I do not drag race anymore so most of my driving is momentum. I will switch to the Gt350 wheel setup soon though.

Ive autocross on my hub centric spacers with no issue also, just wanted to ask! Glad to see you guys have had no issue

When switching to the 18's do you have to do anything to adjust the roll center? I heard Steeda is working on something. I have a feeling Rob Bodle would know.

Replaced my NTO5R's with Mickey Thompson ET S/S. Traction in first gear does exist!!

Looks awesome. I wish I could talk my wife into letting me have an open track car and a nasty street brawler.

That sounds like a question for [MENTION=6743]Norm Peterson[/MENTION]!

Added these picks to my build page but thought I'd post them here too. 20" foundry wheels on my GT/PP.
