wheel spacers opinion
wheel spacers opinion
need peoples opinion on this one. i was thinking about installing some wheel spaces on my 06 GT. running with the stock wheels and the only suspension mod i have are steeda ultralite springs. any thoughts on a brand of spacer i should go with? also, what kind of performance enhancements, if any, will i be looking at after installing them? any sort of suspension issues?
You get slightly more track width but on a factory style all season tire the benefit of such a thing is negligible. In fact that minor of a track width change is going to be negligible period.
I would recommend a hubcentric design. This is the safest way to do it. A simple flat stock spacer pushes the the load away from the hub where it's meant to be. This coupled with the stock studs which aren't meant for it can create...interesting results.
Measure before you buy as well. You want to have at minimum a fingertip worth of clearance for the tire to any body work. Closer to an inch is better to maintain no rub operation.
