Spacers To Get The Wheels Flush?

[WF_GT350]

Thinking about 20mm rear, and 30mm front eibach hubcentric spacers. They are well build and quality. I used them on other vehicles. I don't plan to track with them, however I know a few guys that do.

Anyone ever done this on a GT350? The front wheels are just too far in and wanted it more flush.

The car is sitting low. I'm afraid with the spacers wheels be hitting fenders on road bumps.

Would they be safe to track and drive with if they don't rub?

Personally I think this is a bad idea just for the sake of looks. It alters the scrub radius of the tire throughout its movement and will likely touch the fender at an inopportune time.

I would never run bolt on spacers at the track. It at least doubles you failure rate/points of failure.

And 20mm is too thick for bolt through spacers unless you get longer wheel studs.

It's not a standard GT, the GT350 is already pretty darn flush stock. Adding spacers is likely to result in poke, and tires hitting the fenders.

I have run Spacers on track (Not my 350) with recommendation of KOHR Motorsports. But, They were not cheap ones

We're talking GT350 here so whether you ran spacers on another car or not is not relevant.

Its relevant from the safety aspect. They are safe. Wether a certain size or offset works on another car is irrelevant

You can't say for sure that they are safe on a GT350 just because they are judged to be safe on a Honda.

Hub Centric Hubs are safe period. No matter the car if the right part is used.

Finally said something I agree with, the right part. If the OP has been following this BS I hope he does his research, picks the right part for a GT350 if there is one, and then checks his wheel studs for proper length because his stock ones probably won't work any more. I've seen people do this, get about one full turn on the stud thinking they are good only to have the lugs back off and lose a wheel.

Spacers are perfectly safe. I use bolt through spacers with extended studs.

You will need extended studs and the rear ones are a bi$@#$@$ to change.

What did I say? Bolt on spacers are bad, thick bolt through spacers will require extended studs (but are OK).

After all this fine advice from people you don't even know I'm curious of you are still going to install spacers and if so, what size.
