i'm thinkin about slappin some spaces on my xb, but iw as wondering if they up they are dangerous or what.

 

i had the otgs and now have the 25mm h&rs. i live in orange county and work in santa barbara 4 days a week so i have seen all kinds of road abuse. they hold up perfectly. be sure to torque them accordingly and you wont be sorry...

 

how much did you want to space them out?? try to with hubcentric spacers as they are much safer then universal fit ones. H&R or Kics also make spacers that feature spacers that have studs already installed on them so no need to extend your stock ones. i've got the Kics brand and have no complaints.

 

Kics, how much space do those push the wheels out? And what did they cost ya?

 

I have the OTG hub spacers (10mm) and wheel shims (5mm). I installed mine on 12/18/05 and have since put on over 12,000 miles with no issues.

You can't go wrong with OTG spacers.

Here's a link to my orginal post on these...

You might want to go with the hubcentric one. I have a set of 2" custom made for the rear of my xA and I love them. Don't cut corner with the Pepboys junks as they're quite dangerous. I've seen the front wheel sheared off the lugs and keep going during extreme braking, I leave the rest to your imagination.
Usually wheel spacers or large wheel offsets are very bad for bearings. I don't usually put them on the front coz of balance issues and engine weight. I prefer to keep them in the rear since they take much less punishment. Beside, how often do you have a load of people in the rear seats of your car?
Car corners much nicer, but that largely due to the Eibach springs. Spacers help

 

how wide are the spacers you want to run?

 

Some great info here on why you should avoid universal fit ones:

Well im not really sure how big i want. but i kno i want all 4 spaced out. What does OFFSET mean? i'm not sure what my rims offset is...i have Falken Torque 5 rims with 2" lowering springs (gold line). What is the advantage of getting smaller hub spacers and then also wheel shims? why not get bigger spacers?

BTW, whats the difference between hub spacers, wheel shims, and wheel spacers?

I def. want the wheels to stick out to make it look more agressive, but i have no idea what size i need! anybody have any suggestions as to how i figure out how big of spacers i want? how did y'all figure your size out?

i pretty much dont kno much abotu offset/wheel spacers...so any basic info would be great!
