Wheel Spacers

[lava5oh]

I'm hopefully picking up a set of 18x10 apex wheels this weekend and will eventually want to put a 285 or 295 tire on it.

As far as wheel spacers around 8mm-10mm are you guys using hubcentric or just generic ones? (yes I know I need extended studs to safely run them)

Thank you

I've spent the last few months searching on this and I still bought the wrong sizes but for what it's worth, Hubcentric is the type you want and anything over 5mm's it's suggested you get new longer studs. Hubcentric centered on the hub won't cause any wheel vibration. Chances are you probably wouldn't feel it even with the other type (especially if they are in the rear) but it's better to be safe than sorry. I had the cheap 5mm autozone spacers on my old SN for years when I ran 17x11's without any issues. All that car was expected to do was look pretty and go fast from the light though.

CJpony parts has a nice inhouse brand that I have in 1/2" form.

Checked them out and looks like they fit pretty snug over the hub which is great. Might end up picking those CJ ones up. Appreciate it

Opmustang.com for hub centric spacers.

Just slipped on some OPMustang 25mm front spacers over extended ARP hubs this morning. Fit was excellent.

18x10 w/285 won't require spacers unless you're going for a certain aesthetic. 11" wide will require 20-25mm depending on a few variables. 70.5mm is the center bore size to look for. FWIW my $35 amazon spacers fit the same as my $80 forum vendor spacers.

Good to know, and on the track definitely going for function over aesthetic.
