Spacers??

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. Cheers

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.

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.

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.

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

Like this mate :) These are how mine look. I've someone already interested in mine though when I remove them.

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?

No had no issues at all mate. And I've given them some stick. So safe to say I've tried and tested them,
