Digsy Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Why didn't you just buy wheels with the right offset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrush Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Why didn't you just buy wheels with the right offset?

The wheels when fitted come out past the arches or sit inside the arches by 5mm? Spacers will only push them out further AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I need them to sit out further, by quite a bit lol, I am getting a new bodykit and the wheels will look sunk in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I need them to sit out further, by quite a bit lol, I am getting a new bodykit and the wheels will look sunk in OK, I think I've got this! Without the body kit they sit outside the arches by 5mm but with the kit on they sit too far inside. You want hubcentric spacers and I think Eibach do some which should be decent quality. As for downsides, IIRC they can cause undue wear but I can't remember if its driveshafts or hubs. The bigger the spacer the worse it is. Don't know if that will be magnified as your offsets must already be pretty aggressive. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a suggestion, why not get the wheels with the offset that does stick out as far as you need with the body kit?! AFAIK, adding to unsprung weight and wear on wheel bearings are on the list for -ves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H5 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I love a bit of banter! She should start by dialling the right number. Looked outside your window recently.....?? What did Phil say about the spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did Phil say about the spacers? Got Andrew and he said he has eibach ones, good price too but I got to find out what size ~I want. I think 55mm at the rear should do it and 35 at the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
