for anyone interested. i found this. looks pretty good. but i need the measurements for the center bore so i can get me a set one day. http://www.autocityimports.com/ichiba-h ... -9279.html
Yep, nice one kev, I'm interested......... I like the fact that they increase lateral stability and improve handling. Question :- Do I use these or get a rear strut bar ?....... the reason I ask is because I have very little room under the front guards but the rear could handle 15mm.......... I will assume that I can't just use a rear set of spacers because of 'tracking' (or whatever it's called).......... Am I on the right track ? :hehe cause I don't really know so tell me what you think/know lads. I have 195-60-14 shoes on.
Really......... 25mm sounds nice, any rubbing at all under heavy load ?......... I know your working on your car at the minute but is there a noticable difference in handling?....... what size are your shoes, could you please take a pic for me from below the guard and a rear pic for the stance. Where did you get the spacers........ thanx
i run 25mm in the rear...and i rub under heavy turning, but ive yet to roll the rears....im running 205 45 17 in the rear....and 205 40 17 in the front.
the dog is lowered with whats got to be 25-30mm rear spacers (not sure but could measure...there thick.) w/ 6in wide wheels. (gay i know). no rubbing. -imo the rear spacers look good but handling wise its really the reverse of what you want to do...need to promote oversteer or negate the understeer...rear spacers will do the oposite.
My wheel arch edge has been modded to be narrower, so it's not rubbing this way. I mainly put them on because of looks, and I don't really know / care about what influence it has to handling, but I don't think it's hurting much. I run 195/50R16, will take some pics for you.
success 50mm rear and 40mm fronts! seems to work quite well. not that i would launch the car with this setup. i was worried about stacking spacers like that but seems just fine.
no clue. not drag racing anymore so no worries. besides they won't let you pass tech inspection with any spacer.
are yours hub centric? did some research on youtube and it seems important. for those who dont know what im talking about, having it hub centric keeps the weight on the hub and not the studs. and well, doesnt take too much brains to know the difference and what are you up to now willie? autocross?
