Crap!!!!! It looks like I'm going to need 30mm - 35mm spacers in the back. Anyone who has experience care to share? I'm looking to put down high around 600. I've gotton mixed reviews but I want to hear it from first hand experience. Thanks.

 

It might help if you actually gave some info....

I sure as hell wouldn't use a spacer that big, get a different wheel.

 

If you want to run spacers that wide, you need to use the hub centric spacers so the studs are not likely to break on you. The photos show 25 mm spacer in the front and 30 mm spacer in the back. They are made by a Japanese company called KSP.

What information are you looking for? It'a a FD and I need some spacers. I just wanted some feedback.

Hey Chuck, how can I get those spacers?

 

There are plenty of people on EBay selling custom wheel spacers for around $130 for a complete set. Tell them the thickness, hub diameter, and bolt pattern, and they'll make a set for you.

 

A spacer only helps when you are trying to mount wheels with too HIGH of a positive offset. Considering the stock FD offset is +50, you would have to be looking at wheels with a +80 offset in order for you to be wanting a 30mm spacer.

Judging by the lack of info you are providing, I get the feeling you don't really know what you need....

 

Those KSP spacers are $270 a pair. They are probably too expensive for regular people's taste.

Sorry Tyler but the info you provided was not accurate. If the stock offset is 50 mm, using a spacer will reduce the offset by that amount. Using a spacer is like bringing the mounting surface closer to the centerline of the rim so a spacer will reduce the offset, not increasing it.

So it should be 20 mm (50 mm - 30 mm )instead of 80mm.

As for R71, unless you are getting a widebodykit but you want to keep your existing rims or you bought some rims with some big offset, you don't need a spacer. If you provide the info of the rims you are using and also if your car is regular body or widebody, I can calculate for you.

My studs are long enough, i just need two spacers 15mm, to fit a wheel with a 3.195(81.16mm bore), on an FC, so 71mm hub, 81mm wheel, 15mm space. How long, and how much? The opening in the brake rotor is 71.15mm. Carl

 

Look you dumbass. Don't judge other people's intellegence before you examine yours. All I asked was what's peoples take on some wheel spacers. What the **** do you mean I don' tknow what I need? My car is not stock. I don't have stock setup. If I had to list the mods, It would be endless.

And by the way, wheel fitment is not only dependent on the offset. It depends on the width also. If you have a 20 in wide wheel, if there is such a thing, you're "stock" offset don't mean ****. Offset is calculated from the center of the wheel. What really matters is the "backspace". Once you figure out your backspace you can figure out the offset.

Backspace < 1/2 wheelwidth + offset.

So yeah, I know what the **** I want. Can't people just ask a simple question around here?

Again, only thing I wanted was some feedbacks on some wheel spacers.

And Chuck, thanks for the info. It's exactly what I was looking for. It was either some spacers, or spend another 8g's on new wheels. I will be needing those as soon as I figure out the offset on the front setup. Again, for the Mr. know it all, we're not doing stock setup. Once I figure it out, I'll call you. Can you tell me how long it take to get a set?

 

Yes it was, Chuck. If you take a +80mm wheel and add a 30mm spacer, it will have an effective offset of +50mm. I think you just misunderstood me and we are saying the same thing...

I never questioned your intelligence, *******. People post daily thinking they need something only to find out they don't or they need something else. Did you ever think that maybe I just trying to get a little more background info to see if you knew what you were doing -- to prevent you from wasting time and money?

Don't worry, I won't bother to try to help next time...

 

That's a good ******* idea. If you ain't got anyything helpful to say, shut the **** up! You should have learned that when you your sucking on your mama's ****.

 

Pretty impressive, I wouldn't have guessed a business owner in his 30s could do such a good job of impersonating a 15-year old.

 

It's much better than impersonating know it all dumbass.

 

If your wheel studs are very long, you can't use the KSP ones. They might be other brands of spacers that are hub centric but use the existing studs for the wheels.

Thanks Chuck, I'll just have my local machine shop make them. Tyler, you are above that last exchange, if not a little judgemental. FWIW plenty of super high HP circle track guys use spacers. Wilwood, Braid, Real, H&R, KSP, and many others make these in excess of 50mm, and they are TUV approved for the most part, ie they have been tested, and deemed safe for daily street use by a pretty demanding body. Anyway, there is NOTHING wrong with spacers, and sometimes it is not worth an EXTRA 1-2K on wheels to avoid some ~100.00 spacers. Tyler, how is a spacer like the KSP inferior to any other mounting method

 

You're right, Carl, it WAS beneath me...it's been a rough week....

As far as running large spacers go, I just wouldn't feel comfortable running them, whether they are TUV approved or not. Just my own personal opinion, right or wrong. Different strokes for different folks, as they say.
