dezmond_vr6 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hi guys Iv got rota grid drifts 18x9.5 on et38 I'm going for the wide arches look but just wondering what spacers are like as if not I'll have to buy new wheels and really can't afford to.

Gambit Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I'm using spacers on my rears at the minute had no problems 25mm but now I'd gone with a larger tyre than the low profiles I had if the car boces to much a get a bit of rubbing on the drivers side arch very slight but annoying.

dezmond_vr6 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Thanks. Think I'd need between 15 and 25 mil front and back to make them sit flush with flared arches. But I hear things like they arnt safe because ur wheel and spacers aren't 1 solid unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Mine have been round track mate had no issues I guess if it's cheap parts used then yes could be a problem or you get a part that doesn't have it's own length studs meaning you have less thread to tighten the alloy with. But other than that I can't see it being an issue really. Unless maybe you was full on rallying on tarmac stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmond_vr6 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Ok mate thanks. And what do u mean about them not having there own length studs? Iv never used them before. Do u not jus have to replace your existing studs with bigger ones or do the spacers have them built in or something. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezmond_vr6 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Ok I see mate nice one I'll have a look they seem good like should all be good then. Do they stress bearings any more than usual? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 No had no issues at all mate. And I've given them some stick. So safe to say I've tried and tested them, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
