Wheel Spacer Experiences.

kenchan · 01-04-2013, 01:56 PM

been running both types in the past and the bolt-ons are just as good and safe. get quality spacers.

i use spacers from fic, kics, eibach, h&r.

4.5 years, 55,00 miles and zero problems on my H&R 20mm's

I do suggest you check the torque specs on your lugs regularly though. I check them at least once a month

Agreed.

Well The backs have been on & running nice.

Liking how it looks. Not sure if I am going to do the fronts or not. Going to run just the backs for a while as it looks fine to me.

Plus I figure I don't need the fronts throwing road grime down the side if the car.

Thanks all

20mm on the front will throw crap on your car... 10-15mm should be ok

I disagree, especially if you are dropped at all. No sling issues whatsoever on 20mm's.
