H2 Wheel Spacers

Post by Khamul »

Has anyone out there had experience with using wheel spacers as a modification instead of the expense of buying aftermarket rims with a wider offset?



Please let me know as I would value the input.



Thanks

Wheel spacers are a definite solutions for rubbing issues but you need to buy very high quality parts, preferably billet and for the first 1500km they will need to be retorqued every two weeks just to make sure they are seated properly.



Hope this helps!

I'm looking at the 1.25" ones as I don;t want to add alot of stress to the components...  When installing, do you have to cut the factory lugs down?
