6mm spacer on rear wheels (sport) GREAT!

ParkStr8 · 04-03-2009, 11:05 AM

Semtex asks some good questions. Ive used spacers on many of my cars, and for safety you must follow the guidelines.

Make sure they are hub centric.

Make sure lugs are long enough.

Make sure they are reputable brand.

Your installer should be aware of these issues. I had mine done by my tire shop who works on AMG, Bentley, Aston etc. So i knew i was in good hands. Just make sure you do the same to avoid any incident.

I'm looking forward to seeing good pics!!!

thx

wouldnt 10mm or 20mm wider tires have the same effect? Im thinking whats wrong with 295's out on back.

I have 305's on the rear. It still doesn't fill the wheel well completely, would need an 11" wheel back there with the same offset.

Below is the link for the company. Yes they are hub-centric... Yes they do use longer studs. IMHO by moving the wheel out the entire look is changed. You can see the wheel flush with the body panels and not just the tire. IMHO it looks like more expensive cars do. I am been told it slightly improves handling. I will have the 10mm in soon and will post better pics showing before and after shots.

As long as they're not the ones that come with their own studs pressed into them, you should be fine.
