Wheel Spacers 101

fthamma

I'm looking into getting 15F/20R mm DRS H&R spacers from the stillen website. The price is listed as $103. Is that by the pair or individual? Sorry if this is a stupid question :\

The farther the wheels move apart the angle between the wheel and the axle becomes larger. Thats what I believe causes alignment to change. Not sure what other factors though

I looked up more information and the example that made the most sense to me was imagine a spacer that were 20ft long the center of gravity of the car would obviously bring down the car lower causing more negative camber. A lot of other things associated with the suspension also change but that made the most sense. So the larger the spacer the more significant the change in camber would be.

Are H&R bolt-on spacers hubcentric? If so, I'll get them right away!

Any pics of spacers for the perfect stance with Swift Springs? 15/20 or 20/25?

Plenty of pictures on the forums, but for a few millimeters of poke, 20/25 is the way to go!

This is what I'm running. But it really seems like an extra 5mm up front is going to work. 25/25 anyone?

Do stud-replacement spacers require retorquing after driving or is it just for bolt-on spacers?

Drex

always retorque regardless of spacer type or no spacers at all

you want to retorque the lugs anyway a few times after driving 5miles or so after taking the wheels off the car.

for stud replacement type, you just retorque the lug nuts.

for bolt-on type, ive been using loctite blue on the inner nuts and let them dry overnight. no need for retorquing those, but i still retorque the wheel lugs that hold the wheel to the spacers.

I thought this was a descent video. Pretty basic, but well explained.

I did H&R 25 mm in rear with stock 19" sport rays & 275s

Sits & clears perfectly - no rubbing

Has any body had any issues with alignment getting all messed up after installing these? so i have a 2010 sports package. thru on the bolt on 20 mm in the rear and 15 mm with stud replacements on the front. my left rear looks so off when it comes to camber. i mean it has gotten so aggressive that the it is noticeable by eye..

i am deff need to get an alignment done, but this all happened after i threw on the spacers...
