Wheel Spacers

[ImagClaw]

Why get them, whats the point of them and would they make a meaner look on OEM wheels (dont have enough to get a new set of wheels)? Any and all replies are encouraged. Thank you.

Spacers will give a slightly wider track and bring the wheels out a touch to give a better stance too.

would you recommend getting them if i only have OEM wheels? I want that wider stance and aggressive look... but i am debating.

As long as you do not go silly with the size of the spacer then generally there is no detrimental effect of having them. The standard rims would look better sitting a little more flush with the arches.

so what would be a good size? Keep in mind i will prolly be getting new wheels w/in the next year or so.

Well...they offer no detrimental effect other than the introduction of an extra part which can (and often does) break. ;)

Personally, with the wheels you have, I'd sit tight. Not wishing to cause insult, but you're running stock 7-spokes, so any visual effect from spacing is only going to do so much anyway. I'd leave it and put the money towards the fund for the new wheels which you can get offset to look as aggressive as you like. :)

Perfect reply! Thank you very much Chaos. You going to the Sheppey meet on the 16th?

No chance for me, working every weekend this month :(, mind you the bonus will go towards a new mod so it ain't all bad.
