10 or 15mm spacers on 17x9 +42
 
This beast needs some camber bad... I'd like to find some 10mm bolt-on spacers but i cant find ANYTHING. a coworker of mine has some 10mm bolt-on project kiks or something on his evo but i've yet to find them again... I just want to get 1.7 or 1.8* of camber up front.

Does anyone know where to get these? I'd much prefer to not have to press studs so bolt-on is prefered but would you guys go with a 10 or 15mm spacer either way...

here is how the car sits now... i will have hotchkis 1" drop springs on it when i put spacers on it.

Replacing the front studs isn't hard at all, and can be done in a driveway with hand tools.

Rears need the hubs pulled from the upright to get the longer studs back in.

You would probably get better answers in the wheels section.

I'm confused by your question.


Are you under the impression that wheel spacers somehow change the amount of camber in the suspension?

He needs to gain space between the front strut, and tire, so he can use camber bolts to add more camber.

This. I have almost zero clearance between the tire and strut.

b2autodesigns has some decent looking bolt on spacers.

I was considering them when I was looking at new wheels. Turns out the ones I got clear the OEM spring perch by grand canyon-esque 4mm even with camber maxed out.

I'm at about 1-2mm of clearance with 17x8 +45 and -2* of camber.

A 10mm spacer would take you to 17x9+32, which would protrude a fair amount from the wheelwell. For example, here's a 17x9+30: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7533
