WHEEL SPACERS INTEREST ?? - 08/06/03 02:41 AM
I'm just posting for those that may wanna move their wheels out a qtr. inch. I can get custom spacers made for our bolt pattern out of hi-grade aluminum. You'd have to get studs that'd be a qtr. inch longer too as I don't think 3.5 turns of the nut would be safe. The car looks sportier and I imagine you might get slightly better handling.
I've test fitted washers on one side to see the effect and on my BAT kit I've got an inch and a qtr of room between the top of the tire and the fender, so I'll be ok. The edge of my 225-50-16 Kumho 712's just lines up with the edge of the lip. You guys running lower suspension wouldn't want to go with 1/4" (the minimum I can get).
I'll let others chime in on the safety merits (I haven't come across any that are negative), but I think this is ok. The price would be about $100 US for a set of 4 but needs to be finalized. I'm gonna price a set of studs tomorrow and post back if there's interest.
