Wheel spacers

[Ohhchhittt]

What up every one,
I'm looking to put on some wheel spacers to bring my wheels out a bit to flush up with my fenders. Has any one had good or bad experiences with these. What is a good size to get. I don't want to over do it just flush it up a bit.

Wheel spacers are good to do fixes for fitment but ideally not suited to prelong the life of the wheel bearing.

I had some bolt on spacers 1" for about 2 years, and it started to wear my rear wheel bearing and have a tad bit of play.

It can help in a different way but its not worth it.

People have used them for years though so as long as its the bolt on spacers i think you should be good for a while until proper fitment of wheels can be bought

Go out to your car with a tape measure and measure how far out you'd like to bring your wheel out, that will be how big of a spacer you want to get. Make sure the lug pattern on the spacer is 114.3mm as well, as that is what your lug pattern should be. They do tend to reduce the life of the wheel bearings but I have discovered as long as your spacers are small they don't destroy them too quickly, it comes down to if you think it is worth it or not.

I've routinely run 1/4" spacers on my autocross cars with no adverse effects.
1/4" or 5/16" is about what you need to get that flush look, unless you are running a silly skinny tire.
