For those running spacers.....

Is it silly to just get spacers for one axle??? Or should you run them both front and rear??

 

People only use spacers to either clear the caliper or to fill the offest .

 

yes one is fine, no point running them on the rear if they're not needed

 

I guess my question is, if i run 15mm spacers on the front and none on the rear, will it push the fronts out too far compared to the rear?

 

What widths/offsets are the front/rear? Use this, comparing to stock 7.5" +45

Add in your front specs with spacer, and rears with/without

As anti said, completely depends on your widths & offsets. Check out the calculator or chuck your specs up if you need a hand.
Personally i'd start looking at different wheels or having yours rebuilt to new specs rather than start running spacers all round but that comes down to personal preference.

 

15mm is a mass spacer, your wheel nuts will be barely on the thread

 

yeah

At that size spacer you would want to put longer studs in or you run the risk of not having enough thread to hold your wheels on properly

 

I wouldn't recommend 15mm non-bolt on spacers...

 

The spacers im getting ARE bolt....

H&R 15mm bolt on spacers from ConceptZ....

 

Hmm....

My tyres are 17x8 fronts and 17x9 rear, but not sure of the offset..... I believe they could be +38, but I cant see it stamped anywhere on the rim..... I'll have to measure it when I have the rims off...

Either way, the rears sit pretty flush with the rear fender, maybe just a smidge under.... So I think I'll leave them alone.

The fronts are more tucked in and can be pushed out a little further without fouling on the guard...

I really just need the spacers to clear the larger calipers at the front... Unfortuneatly, the 5mm spacer just isnt enough and I need at least 10mm to clear the caliper... I'm too attached to my rims to get new ones.... Maybe in the future, but not now....

 

With those specs and a 15mm spacer on the front, the fronts will still "stick out" 2mm less than the rears, but the fenders have different clearances anyway. Just do it and stop worrying about it, it's fine

 

hey

i reckon spacers are an abortion of an idea lol if ur going to run them i think its a matter of what u think looks best but really be careful cos i was running them on a jza70 supra and the wheel came off and hit a pedestrian, there were done up properly but the spacers caused the wheel studs to shear off and it was a big shit fight.....so yeh my advice is dont run them at all.

 

+ 1000000000000000

 

was that a non-hubcentric spacer?

 

could that possibly be why they are banned and illegal ?

Don't be stupid !
