Wheel Spacers....

Wheel Spacers....

Postby SteveSolara » Wed Jul 18, 2012 2:56 pm

Hey guys I wanted to know if there is a wheel spacer, or a size that will extend the rear out more "Flush" and the front could use it too but especially the rear.

My wheel specs.

17x7" Motegi rims
225/45/R17

So roughly 1/2 an inch or so of space for the rear
Thanks!

What is your Rim Offset?

Brand Wise I recommend
H&R TRAK+® Wheel Spacers
I have 20mm in the rears with extended studs.
The TRD/Revo rims that I have on now is 17"x8" +40 offset with 20mm spacers at the rear. Tire size is 235/45/17 and its flush at the rear and rubbing again with a rolled fender. -.-

Offset is 40. And 20mm spacers with extended studs, did you have to flare out the fender?

Actually typo Rolled fenders. Most likely Im rubbing because of the tire size that I have on. 225/45/17 should work better instead of 235.

You can try this site but there are located in California. They shipped to Hawaii so it shouldn't be a problem getting them. I had great experience with them when I needed to order extended studs.

If you ever damage your wheel studs here are the specs.
Thread Type: 12 X 1.5
Knurl Diameter: 14.20mm
Thread Length: 50mm (Size may vary but this size will come with 20mm spacers)
Seat Type: Stud
Manufacturer: H&R

Have used both Ichiba and H&R to success. I've toned down driving around "fitted", since I commute 70-80 miles round-trip for work, and slightly smaller spacers and a slight raise in the coilovers make the drive much more tolerable, not to mention giving me a little more tire life.

looks good but that angle makes your car look like it's sittin kinda high. still, pushing the wheels out makes a big difference on the look of the ride. lookin forward to more pics.

Thank you Sir!. Yea pics were a rough take and my hands were all dirty and greased up, sine i did my brakes too while i was at it. And yes it looks high because my driveway is kinda like a little hill so it bring the rear end up. Will update soon.

I can successfully say my rear wheels are rubbing the fenders on tight corner and humps on highways. But hopefully my New RSB to come will fix that :)

Oh and i am only on TIEN Springs and regular struts so its a bit higher than what the springs go for 2'" but That will change once these struts blow out.
