spacers

I want to space my car so that it looks like a track car, and the wheels/tires match up with the fenders. Does anyone know the spacing needed to get the wheels to the edges, and where to get them???

RE: spacers

Buy several sizes and try them all, find the ones you like and send the rest back. 50mm thats 2 inches thats pretty wide

RE: spacers

wouldn't 50mm rub though??? i agree it would look pretty sick, until you hit a major bump and rubbed.... that would suck... what companies out there make spacers for the car, i know of only eibach...

RE: spacers

Keep in mind that wheel spacers will increase the wheel bearing load. I havn't heard of any documented problems though...

RE: spacers

I'm pretty sure you'll have to roll the fenders if you go that high. I got 35's with mine.

RE: spacers

LOL yeah that was a joke but 2" would look sick... of course you have to get wheel studs that are about half foot long and it would completely change the handling of the car
