Ok. So I have a 97 Celica GT that's riding on the 7gc gts rims. As you all know the rims are "sunk" in without spacers. I've been thinking a lot about getting spacers for it but I don't know what size will be best? I was thinking 25mm in the front and 30mm in the back? I'm just worried if it'll be too far out to where it'll be rubbing. My Celica is on AG lowering springs (Never heard of AG but it was on the Celica when I bought it). Also are the eBay one's legit?

I'd rather be sunken then have to replace my wheel bearings every couple of months.

QUOTE (jordisonjr @ Aug 1, 2012 - 11:22 AM)  I'd rather be sunken then have to replace my wheel bearings every couple of months. Have fun with that bro. I remember when I believed everything that I read on the internet. I have replaced 4 bearing on my car and it was ALL BEFORE my spacers. One side went out at about 170k and I replaced both with low quality Oreiellys bearings and one side went out shortly after so I replaced them both again with Timkens. Been fine ever since. With my spacers I have had 0.00 problems and have had them for over 2 years of daily driving. Bearings can go out for a number of reasons, people are quick to blame spacers.. It can be affected by the way things are torqued down, bad alignments, bad cv joints / axles, loooots of things. Bearings are easy to fix anyways.. Just dont let it grind your hub. Like Manphibian said, make sure you get quality hubcentric spacers. I have never used smaller than 25mm on my Celica. -------------------- 2006 BMW 330i - 6 Speed - Dinan Stage 1
