spacers alter offset, cant really tell with just your wheel width, what are the offsets front and rear?

Wheel width shouldn't matter .. any spacer is going to push the wheel out the thickness of the spacer.

Why not park the car on a level surface and drop a plumb bob from the wheel well edge and measure in to the lip then measure to where you want the wheel to go to and subtract then order the closest size.

Spacers, I have ran them on other cars and had other I know have nothing put problems had them cause a wheel to sheer of studs do lotsof damage, take out bearing's, they rob HP. In my opinion if you can avoid spacers, do so, not worth the risk

Don't let one posting throw you off ... do some more research .. If you get proper ones that are within the range of the studs or you change the studs for the proper length then nothing is going to break off. Where there is concern is some spacers aren't hubcentric and you can get vibration.

There is lots in here running them and no issues. Maybe they will chime in.


95% of the time issues are self inflicted by improper installation, cheap quality or too thick for the stud length. They run spacers on race cars and they are subjected to massive amounts of abuse and stress out cars never see and they survive.

pffpffpass (I think thats what his name is) has spacers on his axis penta that are 35mm offset. They are 5mm too. Ask him or if he sees this he can tell you about it.
