Anyone with Spacers?

[missmedude]

I got my new wheels mounted few weeks ago. They are not flushed so I was thinking abt getting spacers. I got 19" and they are +45, same as stock. Should I go 15mm or even higher for both front and rear? Project Kics probably.

toxik has spacers

[missmedude]

the things i wanna know is what size is better 15mm 10mm or 20mm

[bunda4th]

what is the wheel width?

19x8.5 or 19x9? 15 or 10mm either of those will work for those size wheel, but you might have to roll your fenders if you are on coilover

[toxik]

yeah i got project kics spacers. i got 15mm spacers and my wheels are 18x8 with a 45 offset, they sit pretty flush.

remember the rim width is whats important and not that their 18 or 19.

as far as spacers, the ride quality does get worst, its a very look prioritized thing. everyone i spoke to with spacers, agrees on that... so make sure youre aware of that before you spend money. also if you use hub centric rings for your rims, make sure to get hub centric spacers

[missmedude]

yea i have 19x8. also i have 225/40 with eibach drop

How bad is the ride quality? It got me thinking. Im not sure I still want spacers. hmm.. what abt h&r? they good?

Or you can just take a few canyon runs and have your fenders roll themselves

I have 15mm spacers front and back (Ichiba). I did not notice any change in my ride quality.

[Oilsink]

shouldve gone with bigger spacers imo

[missmedude]

i still havent gotten yet lol

[bunda4th]

I have 18x8.5 and my front are almost flush and my offset are +35 so with your case 15mm spacers will make you flush or very close to it.

just wondering how much to repair a wheel with curb rash?

[JDRosenberg07]

i got my rim scraped in my accident a while ago, its just the lip but the insurance company estimated $150 to refinish it. but its gonna depend on how bad it is.

And id go with wheel adapters over wheel spacers, the adapters dont add stress to the existing bolts where as spacers do. you have less bolt tread to screw on the lugs with spacers.

[missmedude]

wheel adapter? whats the difference? they look the same.

[bunda4th]

Actually if you get wheel spacers you still get the same amount to tread to screw.

Depending on the brand and mm of the spacer you will either have to take off the rotors and install the new studs for them so you get more tread or if you get ichiba spacer v2 i believe you can mount the spacers directly on there if you have the right set of wheels.

Do you know if the project kics 15mm will fit? new studs?

[bunda4th]

it should fit.

they come in so that you do not need to change the studs.

[missmedude]

just want to make sure that installing spacers does worsen ride quality. And it also wears on the wheel bearing.

You should be find because my brother have spacers on his GTi and there has never been any problems at all.
