i bought a 97 240 with megan track coils and the car has s14 stock rims 5lug with 10 mm project kiks spacers. now the drivers side rear spacer just blew, its still on but theres a gap between the hub now , my question is can i get rid of the spacers because i feel there is no need for them . the previous owner stated he had em on so they would clear the coilovers??? any help would be nice. car also has lca , tie rods. thanks guys

what do you mean blew? Isn't it just a solid piece of aluminum?

were your wheels on tight? You should post pics.

Just take the spacers off yourself then bolt the wheel back on and check if it clears the coils
