Wheel Spacers and Studs

[Arsenalslr95]

Ahh gotcha, well shoot okay. I guess if they're hub centric it should be fine, I wonder why they're so cheap.

They are the EXACT spacers lots of us are running found in the 1" spacer thread in the AM section. They are not really that cheap, they are $26.50 each plus shipping, puts them within a few dollars of what AM sells them for, which is awesome seeing they are a 3rd party retailer.

Yeah, 4 shipped from CA to MI was nearly $130. Still cheaper than AM, but not by much.

I can't wait to get these suckers on!

I thought they were a pair for 26.50

Hey there.
I got a question so I don't open a new thread.
I want to buy 1" spacers for the back wheels. The main problem I have is that here we have potholes, very bumpy roads and all that sh**.
Will the spacers/adapters resist the road? I don't want to be wheeless...

I'll buy some billet military spacw agency alien titanium granite spacers of some sort. But will they hold?

Thank you for the help.

A good set of spacers will hold up to any road condition for the most part. We've got jeep rock crawlers using spacers, and haven't had any problems.

One thing you may want to keep in mind is that your wheel stud is 30mm long, so if you get a 1 inch (25.4mm) spacer, 4.5mm of your stud will be sticking out past the spacer. If you are running aftermarket wheels, you'll need a minimum 30mm spacer to clear the stud unless the back pad of the wheel has pockets to clear the top of the stud that would poke out.

Thanks so much for the response.
I watched a video on installation as I didn't understand you, but now I do
I haven't taken the wheel down yet, but do oem wheels have pockets?
Also I saw spacers at 180$ or 80$. Usually higher means better, but sometimes you pay for brand. But considering I want safety first, I have no issue going higher. Which one?

Most OEM wheels have pockets so you should be good. As far as spacers, brand can make a difference. Being Hub centric is important to keep everything aligned, but when you get into 1 inch thick spacers balance is important too. They can get quite heavy, and higher quality spacers are usually better balanced. If you get a cheap chinese set of spacers, it can really throw off the balance of your wheel and tire assembly, causing vibration.

No no, no chinese ebay stuff.
I found the 80-100$ on sites like americanmuscle and they say billet whatever material or like from eibach which are 180-200$. There was another site with some black spacers.
All of them are hubcentric.
That's the difference I'm asking about.

If you buy from a reputable company you will be fine.

Also, do not, DO NOT, install them with an impact gun. Use a torque wrench!!

American Muscle, Coyote (previously mentioned in this thread), and Garage Line are all reputable companies.

Thanks a lot. Still don't get the 100$ diff from AM and GL, but I'll see what I'll buy. I'm not tracking or racing anyway, just want strong ones to resist the roads.

In the American Muscle vendor section, there is a pretty big thread on the 1" spacers. Theres like 100 of us running them on this forum alone. Ive only had mine on for a week but so far the car rides no different then before. No vibrations at any speed (had it up to 110 last night)

 

[Evolvd]

Ordered the eBay 20mm ones today, will see how they fit next week.

 

[Anthony 05 GT]

I think the 20mm spacers will look just fine. I'll be installing mine next week most likely. I plan on ending up with 275's on all four corners when it's time for tires and from the pics I've looked at here 1'' spacers seem to be pushing the limits just a bit especially with wider tires. 20mm is about 1mm wider than 3/4''
