Questions on Wheel Spacers on Enkei Super 7's (OEM 18" Rims)
Well I want to push my wheels out a bit, ive read 8mm is the max you can push the stockies. Since the Super 7's use the OEM lugs 8mm would be the max too right?? Any problems if I run wheel spacers??
I read that Kics is a good brand, so are these spacers in the link good? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PROJE...Q5fAccessories |
8mm is not just for stock wheels, 8mm is for the stock studs, any further you are suppose to get extended studs.
|
Ahh I see then im good with the ones I listed?? Or will I need anything else? I read you need hub centric ring. But thats when you get extended studs right?
|
you get the extended studs because anything over 8mm will push the wheel out to far and there will not be enough threads to properly tighten the lug nuts to
|
i run 5mm spacers that help me clear my wilwoods and there has been no problems with them that i have noticed and in my opinion it looked almost flush and pretty good.
|
Awesome :)
So I dont need hubcentric rings?? Just get the 8mm I listed and im good to go? |
i'm not sure about 8 my friend, i can only vouch for 5 mm.
|
Hmmm alright. Can someone confirm if I need with 8mm?
|
I have ran 8mm with no problems just torq them down.
|
What do you mean by torq them down?
Just take off the wheel and slap the spacer and put the wheel back on right... |
yeah. Just tighten them more often to be on the safe side.
|
Ohh I get it just retight my stock lugs often when I run the spacers right?
|
yeah use a torq wrench and torq it down to 75ft/lb
|
I dont have a torque wrench tho :\
