what size wheel spacers should i get, to get 17x7 wheels as close to the fender as possible. I don't want them to over lap, or cause the wheel to set to far out on the lugs, which i know kinda limits the size avab.

I had tried them myself years ago, spacers and wheel adaptors. no thanks. I also worked in a parts store for 12 years, saw too many people with problems to recommend them... OK there are now apparently companies making good and bad spacers, the $300 ones may be fine, but anything that just slips over the stock studs or replaces the studs with longer ones and does NOT fit the centering hub securely could cause trouble, Our cars are designed to use the center hub to get the wheel centered,,,not the lug nuts. any spacer or adaptor that doesnt fit securely and is not machined with a new centering ring on the outside could possibly cause problems, for that matter any aftermarket wheels not designed to use the centering hub could be a source of vibration. Those Hubcentric people wouldn't be in business if it WASN'T a problem,,,maybe they could make the add-on centering rings for spacers???? or do the better ones come that way??? |
