So I did a search for spacers and it only brought up like 6 or 7 threads that were started a long time ago. So now I'm starting a new one.

Has anyone gotten spacers for their wheels? For those of you that did have you experienced anything bad (amplified vibrations, shimmy, etc)? I really want to get some spacers for my stock wheels....just until I get some new ones. Anyone know of a good place to get some from? Also what size spacers would my car require for the wheels to be flushed with the fender?

Thanks

i had spacers and adapters on a previous vehicle ...never had any sort of problem...but some people do ...i think its just a hit or miss situation...and of course there are those who will say they just arent safe but im no expert on that problem

never an issue here... and I tracked mine. make sure to invest in QUALITY spacers though, and if you go wide, you will need to extend your lugs

just make sure you get decent ones..with the centric hub for a centred rim on the spacer. thats that main concern heres a pic of an ebay good one with centering lugs both for the hub and rims..

notice the center of the spacer has that flared portion? this keeps the rim center of the spacer. without that people may experince wobbles etc.

all in all you get what you pay for! this kit goes for 59.00 +/- plus shipping.

H&R makes a very nice one! but lots of $$$ the decent ones work good..juss make sure its billet alum.

also depending on offset id go 1'' spacer. thats with a rim with 45+ offset and 8.5 wide and a lil neg camber for the ladies! ahah j/k

I got these from OptionSelect on Ebay. Free Shipping, Hub centric and fits well thus far. Did not get a chance to do any highway driving yet, but around town has been vibration free thus far.
