WHEEL SPACERS WITH 1.6" DROP.
 

Hey guys, i am about to run Eibach Sportline springs. giving me aprox 1.5" drop.

I have 18x8.5 +45 all round, and want to put 10mm spacers on the rear.

Dose anyone see any problems i might come up against ?

My plans are just to enhance looks for the back. and close wheel gap.

Thanks

instead of running spacers run a wider rim in the back, because if you are investing money into rims you should get them perfect and not need to add something to them.

make sure to get the spacers with stud replacement not the other kind.
then, you'll be perfectly fine.

The reason people do this is so they can have that staggered look while retaining the ability to rotate the tires... Not necessarily because they're being cheap.

This is all well and good unless the OP wants to run a square setup, which would be my guess for the spacers. I for one would rather get a square setup with offsets as close to tolerance as possible then use a small spacer to finish with. I like to be able to rotate my tires front to back to get the most use out of them.

All a spacer really is... is a different offset wheel. Not literally speaking. If you had an 45mm offset wheel, you can get a 10mm spacer to make it a 35mm offset wheel. That's how wheels are manufactured. They form it with a thick back pad and grind that down to the correct offset. So an Enkei RPF1 with a 35mm offset and a RPF1 with a 45mm offset is the same wheel. It's just that the 35mm offset wheel has a thicker back pad and therefore weighs more. Hope that makes sense. But as others have suggested, if you are just going to use a spacer, be sure to get the extended lugs. Many people suggest ARP studs. Hope this helps.
