i need some help finding wheel spacers for my car. i just got some 17' rims and i want to get spacers so make the rim look flush with the rest of the body.
i found these and want to know if they are any good and what ones i should get for my car. people keep telling me that H&R spacers are good, but i just dont want to spent that kind of money on something as simple as a spacer. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I wouldn't go with too much of an offset. You will probably end up repacing your axles after a short while. I've got a little explanation for why.here goes....
-your wheels bolted on as normal(without spacers)=carrying a 20 pound box close to your chest -your wheels bolted on with spacers=carrying a 20 pound box several inches away from your chest ok heres what I mean,carrying the box close to your chest will create less stress on your back than carrying the box a little bit away from your chest.Bolting the wheel on with spacers will create more strain on your axles,ball joints and so on |
