Spacers

Ptoscano911 · 12-10-2021, 10:24 AM

Curious if anyone has put smaller spacer On rear like 3-5mm? I've seen a bunch w 10-13mm but haven't seen any with smaller. TIA

3 might be safe but I would not use up any more of the hub the wheel needs to sit and center on. After 3mm, I would jump to 12. I have read that 10 mm is not enough to support the hub extender flange. Perhaps 11 works if high quality, but I can’t see 0.040 inches (1mm) from 5 feet away so why risk it.

I have 5mm hub centric in rear and 12.5 upfront think its a perfect fitment

I have a 5mm spacer in the front for my square 10.5in track wheels so the front wheels don't rub the springs. It works.
