Wheel spacers

Featured Replies

I’m looking at getting spacers so that the wheels fit flush with the body, I have 35mm lowering springs and standard s line wheels (5 wheel nuts). Does anyone know what size to go for and where’s best in the uk to order them? Cheers

Hello Dan,

Thanks for being g in touch with the forum.

Genuine wheels are aimed such that their load bearing is through the centre of the hub bearing. 
Displacing that loading by using spacers can be bad news for bearings. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Hi Gareth I don't think that was the required answer, much too accurate, we know that to get that effect you can buy wider wheels with the same centering and offset also if you get it wrong you can tear a wing off on the first corner especially if its been lowered.
