5mm spacers and hub rings.
OK, here's my question for the gurus:
I bought a set of Drag DR38 rims(17x7, 40mm offset). The front fit good, but the back look like they could be pushed out a bit more. Can I run a 5mm spacer in conjunction with the hub ring I needed to adapt the rims to the 56.1 center? Is there enough of a lip on the axle to properly center the hub ring even with the spacer installed? Thanks. |
More than 3mm would require longer studs. The factory studs were engineered for a specific wheel hub thickness. Common spacers are supposed to be used only for caliper clearance where there is a 1mm-3mm clearance issue for a particularly tight spoke design. They were never intended to change the track of the wheel base. This should be done by selecting a wheel with the desired offset. The nut needs a minimum number of threads to hold the proper torque. Too few threads and you're asking for trouble.

I have been driving with it for a week and no lost wheels yet. :-) |

OP are your spacers hubcentric?

I never ended up putting them on. I think I'm going to buy different rims.
