TRD-Rob Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 not being able to afford 1000 pound wheels i was thinking of using wheel spacers instead i need the wheels to come out about 25m i just have two question about them 1) how safe are they as Ive heard some scary story's about wheels failing off and aim not to keen on that 2) is there a company i can take the car to to get the right size as i don't want to order the wrong size just in case don't need the fuss any info or help on this would be great.

Jezz Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Which cars this for mate? 25mm i would think will be fine. Its the big chunky 100mm ones that are scary pants! Hubcentric 25mm spacers should bring standard supra size and offset wheels out to those arches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRD-Rob Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 just thought it would be a much cheaper way of making the car look good and its only 25mm can it really be that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 just thought it would be a much cheaper way of making the car look good and its only 25mm can it really be that bad Each side so you're actually increasing the track by 50mm. That's quite alot and puts a fair bit of stress of suspension components. CW is quite forthright in his opinion of spacers, and I take heed of his opinion.

chazuk Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I run a set of huge spacers on the skyline easily a inch on the back but they are the bolt on type with new stud threads on the spacer,I have seen a company on ebay do them custom size and thread. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ALLOY-WHEEL-SPACERS-TOYOTA-SUPRA-MR2_W0QQitemZ230144153969QQihZ013QQcategoryZ122154QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
