25mm Spacers
I'm going to be adding 25mm spacers all around to my 13 Camaro. Do I need a wheel alignment or something once I install the spacers ? Thanks

I tried this on my car as well. While the back looked ok the front did not look safe at all. I had done some research on this subject and decided to try it out. I opted to remove the spacers and will go with new rims with the correct offset instead. Based on what the front looked like after installing the spacers you will definitely need an alignment otherwise you will get tire wear for sure.

What did the front looked like? Have any pics? Since you said they didn't look save meaning the front.
How were the back ? Thanks Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |

I am guessing with a lowering kit and an alignment these spacers would be just fine. Good luck with the mod. Post some pics if you go through with it. I'd be interested to see if you came across the same issues i did.

What do you mean the pitch was well off?

Just remember if you push your fronts out like that they will throw rocks at your rear quarters. You will at the very least need some rock guards at the front like the 1LE's and ZL1's have. You can make your own from some universal guards from Advance or some other parts store, then cut them to fit your car. Or, just buy the ZL1 version like I did. I recommend Xpel fim or the like as well for your gill area.

I got the spacers installed and the car looks really nice. Great stance but for whatever reason when I'm going between 60-65 mph my steering wheel starts to shake. I did a wheel alignment as well as an wheel balance and I'm still getting the shake.
Can anyone help me with this issue? Thanks Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |

GM engineers designed our cars down to the smallest detail. When we change things, because we’re Camaro owners and that’s what we do, we change what they designed and are now outside of how they tested the car. Your shaking between 60-65 mph may just be a new normal for your setup. What does it do at 75-80 mph? Still shake?
Wheel spacers are fine for shows, but imo faster the driving, the unsafe the spacers become. Recommend looking into a set of rims with a non-stock wheel spacing to accommodate repositioning your wheels where you like them.
