Need some input on 25mm spacers

bpsu07 · 10-07-2011, 01:02 AM

So...I know its a big spacer.

I've been researching what's the best way of doing this.

- Stud Conversion with slip on spacer (donut spacer w/e)
- "Adapter-Style" spacer (Bolt on)
- Plain slip on (donut w/e) with extended lug bolts.

A 25mm is FOR SURE what I need. I just want the safest way possible. I daily the car I don't track or anything. Just some aggressive driving here and there, but nothing too hardcore.

I'm only going to be running spacers of any sort in the FRONT.

Just been getting some mixed opinions about everything I listed up there. From the "bolt on spacer" breaking lug bolts, or stripping the lug bolts and them falling off some how? To the stud conversion "Putting too much stress on the studs" from running such a big spacer.

I need some serious input from some gurus here! Thank you very muchh!

If I really had to choose, it would be the adapter-style. Otherwise just get wheels with proper widths and offsets.

Just re-read your post... I would recommend against using any spacer on the front, especially a huge 25mm.

Lol,

Proper wheels with proper offset...The rears are perfect width and offset, the fronts..perfect width, not so pefect offset.

I put TOO much time into these wheels now, and figured it won't be so difficult running a 25mm spacer, but I guess I didn't put time into researching a 25mm spacer -_____-
