unlmtdndeavor 01-29-2005, 11:33 PM its time to get that car slammed if ur gonna run those wheels. they look tite tho. but 1" spacer :nails: u may wanna go get some extended studs. seems a little dangerous to me
squirrel 01-30-2005, 02:56 AM They cleared the brakes!?! :relief: Oops, I just re-read the post. You had to shavve the calipers? YIKES!
dgHotLava 01-30-2005, 03:05 AM if you did not compesate for the tire size (does not look like you did). you will be racking up the miles faster than you should. plus the speedo will be wrong (reading faster than it should)
not my style....
how much did you have to shave off the brakes???
bB2NER 01-30-2005, 03:16 AM Yeah, but it will have lower gearing also. zoom zoom!

1 inch seems like alot but its the same spacer I was using with my factory wheels to get them flush with the body
no need to extend the studs used a bolt on style spacer like this one

JDMxB 01-31-2005, 05:57 AM I would be scared to drive a car with 1 inch spacers...
Doesn't seem worth it all that trouble you have to go through, but if you really liked the wheels, then that's your only option.
trench 01-31-2005, 07:17 AM YIKES!
JdMBboFSD 01-31-2005, 07:21 AM 14's are small.......... :no:
SUPASCIONXB 01-31-2005, 04:21 PM 14's are small.......... :no:
If you look in my profile u will see that I have 18's also , I just wanted to do something diffrent for a change.

macncheese 01-31-2005, 05:55 PM Cool. I tried 13s but I couldnt get a tire with an appropriate load rating.

I ordered them at a local tuner shop near my house but I think if you call any wheel shop they should be able to hook u up.
I also found this place on the net,

Al-Truistic 02-05-2005, 04:22 PM Looks good! Do 14s work well in winter conditions? One inch spacers, very cool, I hope they are ok for you it was a great eBay deal, by the way...
