Wheel Spacers on stock wheels??
 
Does anybody have wheel spacers on their stock wheels? I was looking at 25mm for the rear but can't decide what to have up front. 10, 15, or 25.
I was looking at getting these: http://perrinperformance.com/c-74511...ers-tires.html .

Does anyone with spacers on have pics? I really want to see how the different combinations look. :thanks:

20mm front 25mm rear seems to be pretty common, and a couple vendors here sell those setups. Are you at stock ride height or lowered?

i know @b2autodesigns has pretty good spacers for us and yeah most common seems to be 20 from 25 back.

Right now I'm stock ride height but I'm looking at the Swift sport springs (BRZ spec) that would drop it about 1 in all the way around according to their specs.

I have the 25mm spacers all the way around on my car, here's a pic with H&R sport springs next to a lowered car without spacers! Sorry I don't have any pics with the stock springs handy. There's plenty of room though, not even close to rubbing ever.

I'm also running 20 front and 25 rear.

20mm spacer on the rear only. Car is dropped 1" all round on H&R springs.

I'm leaning toward 20 up front now and 25 in back. If I do this setup or spacers in general is there any adjustments that have to be made like to the camber or anything? Sorry for all the questions but I haven't really messed with wheels on my cars before! lol

PERRIN_Chris 03-05-2014 04:07 PM

Nope! Just get an alignment when you get the springs installed, and you'll be fine.

luuser75 03-05-2014 05:57 PM

Besides looks, do spacers change other things about the car? Like the way it drives? I'm also thinking of getting some and a total noob :)

PERRIN_Chris 03-05-2014 06:11 PM

It will make the car take turns a little better, since the wheels are going to be pushed out a little further. Other than that, it doesn't really make any difference in how the car drives.
