Default spacers/ shimms

Ok so I decided I want to get 25mm in the rear and 20mm in the front. I been hearing alot about one ton garage.

So looking at there products I assume for the rear I would need the following for both back wheels:

1. 10mm spacer shimms
2. 10mm billet aluminium shimm
3. 5mm billet aluminium shimm (since they don't have a 15mm shimm)

For the front wheels I would need:

1. 10mm spacer shimms
2. 10mm alluminium shimm

Are these correct?

Would I have prob with the length of the wheel studs?[/list]

uhhhh, why dont you just get a 25mm spacer? do a search for kics spacers.

and about studs.... what do you think? spacing out the wheel 25mm's and use stock studs? i dont think so. get something to match the width of the spacers.

Aren't the one ton spacer different than other spacers. In that it pushes out the rear hub assembly as well as the wheel? I thought a regular spacer just went over the lugs (like a shimm)

Ok how about this. Someone point me to what I need. I know they have studed spacers.


Spacers and shimms are getting me confused. What is the difference etc etc.

The OTG spacer shims are for the rear only.

If you want your front and rear wheels to be spaced evenly, you need to push the rears further out by 10-15mm.

If you want to space out your rims more than 10mm, don't try stacking. You should just get H&R or KICS hubcentric spacers. You can get them in 15, 20, 25, or more I think.

oh oh, i thought you were referring to spacers and shims, not just shims.

OTG makes both spacer shims and regular spacers. the shims will go behind brake drum(i believe, im new to them) and push out the assembly that way. the regular spacer will just go onto the lugs like you said... and push out the wheel that way. ALSO, shims are only available for the rear.

but it seems like it would be dangerous to run 3 spacer shims.
