running spacers

[ero714]

i have an s13 with teardrop wheels and was thinking of running some spacers but im not sure what the biggest i can go?
what are you guys running?

[YoungGun]

You wont make them look good with a spacer. Save up and get some real wheels with good width and offset.

[SW20Racer]

true story:

I've seen a set of spacers go for the same amount as a set of sportmax. and they are both equally safe. (safe being a relative term in this case)

[!Zar!]

I rather see a 240 with stock fitment on stock wheels than a 240 with fail half assed fitment on stock wheels.

:stupid:

spacers should only be used to fine-tune fitment, save your money for wheels that fit.

[SoSideways]

Seriously.... why would anybody roll with 15x6 +40, much less mess with it?

[5t341tH]

doesnt matter cuz u can only run, at most, a 5mm spacer on ur stock studs for safety considerations.
but like they said, why?

[!Zar!]

Or run a bolt on spacer. Not all spacers are slide on...

[axiomatik]

bolt-on spacers can be as big as you can pay for. A while back I saw a C3 vette with C5 wheels on, and it was running about 3-inch (75mm) bolt-on spacers to get them to fit.

[firelizard]

Definitely don't bother with spacers on stockers.

If it were something like a rare set of wheels that you could only get in one size but were failtment, then yeah.

But the way I see it, if you're going to go stock, just don't mess with it.

make ur car shaky

[honeybadger]

I've heard some horror stories of spacers causing some pretty bad instability before (shaking at speed)

[BillWatcher]

I have 50mm bolt on spacers :o I have had no problems with shaking. :hide:

im stacking 50mm with a 20mm.

no problems with shaking either.

dailyd it like that for several months.

[Baron Fel]

as long as you get hub and wheel centric spacers you will have no problem with the shakes

unless your wheels are out of balance but that's a different problem all together

Haha same here.

I thought the only important part was hubcentric!???:ugh:no?

[obarrera]

look on ebay.

but convert mm to inches and search for that.

i got 40mm's for my fc for $50. they were made for jeeps or some shit but were the same bolt pattern.

[ThatGuy]

I have 15mm Kics bolt-on spacers on all four corners. No shaking, no problems.
