Looking for wheel spacers that would or will flush out my factory rims. I also have a 2 inch drop on it.

Will I be capable of getting a spacer set that will allow me to keep my suspension travel?

If you try to go flush with a 2" drop, you will likely get some rubbing.

Typically to get flush you'd need something like 15mm in the front and 20mm in the rear.

 

yea, your gonna need stretched tires and/or camber.

 

just get new wheels.

 

i just grabbed a set of the stock wheels and tires, whats the offset on them? what about 15mm front and rear? i might want this but dont want flush, im on hotchkis springs but thinking of getting coilovers to raise the rear a bit?

 

i think they're 17x7 et/45

 

I just put 25mm spacers on my friend's car about a month ago and he was almost flush. You'll need to be around +10 or lower to be flush.

 

pics?

 

i was checking out the Ichiba wheel spacers and it looks pretty easy if im looking at it right? remove the wheels, put the spacer on, bolt wheels back on? is it really that easy, no removing the caliper or anything like that? here's from Ichiba web site. Is it the same for the H&R spacers?



is there pros and cons of going that route?

 

^^ That's the style spacer I installed on my friend's tC. If you go over 5mm, your bearings will hate you.

Sorry, o8tC, no pics.

 

why so?

 

supposedly, it addeds crazy amounts of stress on the bearing since its rotational weight is offsetted so much farther.


am i right?

 

The larger spacer you go on stock bolts, the more stress you place on them. Enough stress over time will cause damage.

 

so the better alternative is to get longer bolts? if i do this, then ill be removing the caliper and rotor correct?

i plan on putting spacers to run my newly purchased stock wheels and tires. im thinking 20mm front & 15mm back? not 100% sure yet?

 

Best thing to do, run wheels that fit what youre looking for.


Spacers are a cheap alternative that can have expensive repercussions.

 

Yeah, pretty sure.

 

unless done right by getting longer bolts correct? as of right now i dont plan on purchasing another set of wheels because the ones i want aren't cheap and discontinued. I just want to be sure if i get the longer bolts ill be OK with running the spacers i want?

 

it looks like Ichiba version II is the one i should be going for. Its made so we dont have to replace the stock bolts with longer ones. it looks like it will be easier after all. cant wait, now its decided on what size? 15mm front and 10mm rears on hotchkis springs?

 

Version one comes with longer studs just FYI if its longer than 5mm. The version II are nice but i would go with version one because the bolts are made longer and specifically for the spacer. version II still utilizes your stock bolts which i wouldn't recommend.
