has anyone here used or curently using some wheel spacers on their car? thinking about getting some to clean up the fender to wheel gap on my wrx...what's your opinion on them? safe for the street? pros and cons? please help...

 

41 views and no opinions??????? i'm about to just buy em and see what happens..

 

About 3mm is all you can safely run on the stock wheel studs. Are you swapping to longer studs? Or are you buying the larger(10mm+) spacers with the built in studs?

 

^^^I'd be getting the version 2 ichiban ones that have them built in...

 

I was wandering the same thing earlier.

My friend has the spacers that have studs coming off them, and he has had them on his car(s) for awhile with no problems at all.

 

I think that spacers suck! Cheap way to do the business! Get some whells with real offset!

 

^^^dont get me wrong i deffinitly agree with you here, but i dont have a G+ to drop on wheels and tires right now. of course i could put the close to $300 i'd be spending on spacers toward new wheels, but i also want to maintain an oem look to my car as well...i would like to just get some 04' sti bbs wheels and call it a day, but those are still out of my price range for now..still not decided yet, probably wont get them just cause the money spent there could have been used better elsewhere...

 

Nothing wrong with spacers if you buy the correct kind and sizes that you measure..The Brand DNA dot com

Yep nothing wrong with spacers especially if you want to fit some gnarly brakes in there, alot of people think wing spacers "suck" but hey we do what we want anyway.
