can I put spacers on my rear stock tires ?

I want to bring out the back tires out a little like 3/4 to 1" would a spacer work fine with the stock bolts? Is iy dangerous? Does it affect the car performance at all? And of course, ia it possible... I wanna dip the rims gunmetal nothing special

Everyone has an opinion about wheel spacers and everyones opinion is based on some sort of experience. I personally wouldnt do spacers on a stock setup just because of the rears camber set up and the stock tires width. I havent really ever trusted spacers though so someone else might tell you differently.

Spacers are for show. Sure people use them all the time on the street and there are many "Quality" manufactures out there. But really, why not do it right and buy a new set of wheels with a proper offset.

if you must use a spacer get one that is designed to bolt to the hub with the factory lugs and then the wheel bolts to the spacer with another set make sure to use quality fasteners and check the torque specs after 50-100 miles.

H&R 25mm wheel spacers. They are hub centric, will bolt on to your hub and give you studs for your wheels to bolt on to. I put them on my car before changing my wheels and they worked just fine for street use.

Search my posts and you should see pics.

I put 20mm spacers on the rear wheels, they look nice, but I think you can easily fit the 25mm ones in. I got H&R ones and they come with the longer bolts and so on. The only hassle in this case is that in order to remove the stock bolts and install the new ones you have to take apart basically the whole rear suspension, I guess the acura guys did not think you would replace them one day, hahaha.
