Anyone run wheel spacers?

[peter]

Thinking about getting some wheel spacers but I dont wanna go too much, just a little extra width look. I dont wanna have issues rubbing, I have RS 5 spokes running 205/55/16 tires on my BD on KYB GR2's and lowered on H&R springs. Any thoughts on this?

Are you trying to achieve the "hella flush" look or the "camber crazy" look?

5mm spacers is the norm for most members..

Common issues:
- Lugs not long enough to accommodate the hub
- Spacer is not hub-centric and causes vibration.
- cracks if over torqued ..

All of these things can be avoided if you buy quality parts. I am sure more members will chime in with there experiences and brands they have used.

Anyways cheers

Im not going for hella flush or crazy camber, hate that. I just wanna get it a little more flush and fill the wheel well out more. I figured 5 mm would be the way to go. I had heard I needed hub centric, I would probably go with H&R spacers. One thing I was wondering about was the lug length and what would need to be done about that

I use 3mm but its to clear my front brakes on my 16x7 winter wheels. 5mm is the max you can use with stock lugs anyway. There's barely enough threads for the lugnut with a 5mm to maintain proper torque on them.
