Does anyone here use wheel spacers on their cars? Any problems? I got new wheels and was suggested to use 5mm spacers for my +55 offsets in the rear. It looks perfect with spacers in rear and in front also. Planning on using spacers front and rear. Is that crazy?

 

Not crazy at all. Before I got new wheels, I used spacers on all four corners with stock wheels. I used 20mm in the rear and 15mm in front, not sure but I know there is a limit in what you can use, smaller, not larger. I think 5mm is too small of a spacer to use in the front due to the hub lip, but it should be ok in rear. Please don't hold me to that, maybe do a search on here to see any topics about spacers.. Good luck.

 

That hub lip is identical front and rear. The spacers are hubcentric and really tight fitting. Just waiting for the snow to clear up and test drive it.

 

I had spacers on front and rear in 10mm when I used the wheels in my sig. Now just using spacers in the front.



You want to use spacers for fitment purposes. To give the wheels a flush look or whatever fitment you are going for.


There are usually no issues with spacers as long as you have the correct spacers/lugs for them.

 

Just got my second set of spacers and the longer black 35mm bolts. Got the lock bolts too. Can't wait to take it for test run. Will report back. Thanks guys.
