thanks to everyone for the feedback, didnt mean to start a hater thread

I think the stock offset is better than my other cars anyway, really dont even need them

no problem, didn't really see any "hater" comments..... sorry if people don't like honesty..... the hater term is so over played by folks who don't like truthful answers to their questions......use it with wisdom....

I use bolt-on spacers on my car and here's my 2 cents...

Non-hub centric, universal slip-on spacers are BAD.
High-quality, bolt-on, hub-centric, light-weight aluminum spacers are great upgrades, IF:

1-You don't have enough money for new & wider wheels.
2-You love your stock wheels and want to spice up the look by giving them a flush & aggressive stance.
3-You widen you stock wheels and need to push them out for clearance.

Pros:
-Wider & aggressive stance.
-Increase high speed cornering stability.

Cons:
-Increase stress on hubs & bearings.
-Increase weight.

What size are you using? i was thinking about 25mm

I Agree that quality is a must

How does that factor into things?

25mm front & 22mm rear.

in the german forum a guy wrote that a dealer told him the spacers you need will differ from car to car. their can be a difference on original cars up to 15mm build in!! this would mean, that some cars look nice with 25mm all around, and some only neet 20mm maximum!

Put the correct wheel and the right off set on and that is the way to go.. no shake or bearing issues

Whipped416 · 03-31-2014, 02:53 PM

some people have to use them . I have to use them because my wheels hit my pfadt coilovers..

Outlaw77 · 03-31-2014, 04:08 PM

I have used 10mm to 25mm H&R spacers for years on all of my cars and I have never had any issues what so ever. Of course I would use the proper hardware they recommend.

Only H&R though.

Zyklon-SS · 03-31-2014, 06:21 PM

Im running hubcentric H&R 25mm front and 22mm rear, never had an issue and it looks great!
