Hey everyone, so I know nothing I mean NOTHING about spacers....

now that that's out of the way lol I really want to have a set up with my wheels spaced out, I have seen so many photos of pure sexy cars.

I guess I would like to know what is the biggest spacer I can buy without having to make any additional mods, from what I have been reading some people are cutting some stuff or worried about rubbing, I don't want to have these issues, just install and have it look nice and clean.

btw... still noob to this but I see spacers, adapters sometimes in the same threads so i don't know if they are the same thing being called differently or what.

 

it depends how flush you want it to be. you have to measure how much further out you want your tires to be or aka offset. adding spacers/adapter is the same as subtracting your rim offset. if you are tucked, you will have to worry about rubbing, therefore, you have to make sure you get the right size adapter/spacer so you still say tucked. if you aren't tucked then you don't. most likely you will need adapters, which are pretty pricey since you'll need 2 sets because i think they only come in pairs. adapters include the extra bolts because you won't have any room to work with on the stock bolts. i know there are 10mm spacers you can get anywhere, these are the ones without bolts. i'm not sure about the safety for it though. anything above 10 you'll need adapters.

 

25mm is the smallest you can go that will clear oem studs. I happen to have a brand new Hubcentric pair for sale too...
Also, adapters are different. They adapt to different bolt patterns for different bolt pattern wheels. Spacers come with their own studs too when they get larger.

well i got 25mm in the rear and 20mm in the front,which is perfect for oem wheels,but im on teins h tech,so im not rubbing,if you were lower then youll rub

 

How can you be using 25mm and not need longer studs ? Idk about the rear for tc but the xa or xb can use hub spacers because of it's brake drums. Are these same a hubcentric spacers? If it is doesn't seem like it will work on tc.

 

^By using an adapter style spacer. For example one that goes 5x100 to 5x100. You just use the studs on the adapter rather than the ones on the hub.

Also, you can run less than 25mm if the wheel allows for it. Some wheels have cutouts in their mounting pads.

 

my bad for the mis-clarification. when i said longer studs, i was actually referring to the new ones that come with the adapter. because the stock one is too short when adding the adapter, the adapter studs basically extends your oem ones.
