Nice before/after pics!

What tire sizes are you running?

Clean LBP, love it.

 

Running spacers will put a lot of stress on your wheel bearings and hub. Just get proper lower offsets if you want the flush look. Avoid running spacers if possible, IMO.

 

Could you explain the above?

If anything, the stress on the studs should be reduced IMO. I'm not questioning, I'm just wondering. TIA.

 

Isn't that just the equivalent of running a low offset wheel? I mean how can your wheel bearings and hub tell the difference between low offset wheels and running spacers on high offset wheels?

 

I agree with S factor...You have just described what low offset wheels will do as well. But the damage is so minimal, to see the result of the damage from wheel spacers and low offset wheels, it will be time to replace the bearings and rebuild/replace the hub regardless just from them being on the car for the amount of time and miles that are on them.

 

Thanks...

215/45 front
255/40 rear

Really wanna throw down some 285's on the rear but need an 11-11 1/2" wide wheel for that. I love the look of some wide rubbers on the rear.

 

With the current setup that you have right now, do you have any rubbing issues while using the spacers? Have you modified the fenders at all in this setup? What size spacers did you use for front and back? I would like to do something like this as well but I am concerned about rubbing and damaging the fenders. I really like the stock rims but would like a more aggressive stance than stock. Thanks in advance!

 

did u need to roll fenders after installing the spacers?

 

^^ Yes, I did have my fenders rolled, front fenders flared a tad and rear bumper tabs relocated. After all that I have no rubbing issues. I carve canyons weekly and am looking into tracking the car but need to do minor maintenance before I do start to full time...Coolant flush, brake fluid flush as well and brake pad change.

The spacers I purchased were the HD Trak(That's how they are spelled) series from H&R:
Fronts: 20MM
rears: 25MM

"You know that anything that comes out of Germany has to be good"...
Plus they match my German made coilovers.
