Negative effects of 25mm spacers?

[grip_racer]

i heard they would make an S13 7-spoke flush.

but i feel like theres gonna be some drawbacks to this.

Bro...why do you want to do this in the first place? I don't think you should run more than 15mm for spacing, twenty five is a little much IMHO.

You bet! There are a lot of posts here about what happens (rarely anything good!) when using spacers - of any size, let alone 25mm! Please do a search with that word and you will find all the info you need.

Sorry to simply send you to the search button, but there is info here and it is easier for you to read them directly rather than my paraphrasing them (and not doing the originals proper justice.)

basically its just much better to get wheels that dont require a spacer

spacer is just asking for trouble

... or just realize that having your wheels flush with your wheelwell is about the last thing you should worry about if you're concerned with good performance.

holly ****. Someone gets it!

persuing something for the sake of itself is idiocy.

Grip, you've been on here long enough to have at elast -seen- a few of the posts about spacers and the like..

track width, hub stress, self aligning torque, scrub radius....etc, etc.
