wheel spacers
 

Just installed some 235/75/15 looking to get them to stick out some to better fill out the fenders. Whats a good/safe size to run?

my mazda came with 235/70/15 ... 1.25" n 1.5" bolt on's is the lowest size with out modifing stock lug studs, cause they are 1.25" long on front and 1.5" long on rear.. slip on dont center right and can cause balance issues

whts the best bet then just new rims with neg. offset

well? good spacer are over $200 for a set of 4. it's your call

I got a set of 4 bolt on spacers on eBay for $125. They were 1.25" thick, the front cleared the studs, the rear did not and I had to trim each stud with a grinder. Easy to do, just a pain in the ass

ehh mines well just get rims and change the style up if im going to go through all the trouble.

I hade 2" spacers on my truck at one point. They worked well. I was just very leary of them coming off. I put loctite on the nuts that bolted the spacer to the hubs. 2" put my 235's just flush with the fender flare. I thought it looked really good.

I have a brand new set of 2" (only 2 spacers) with lugs. sell for $70 shipped, thats way less than I paid.

Thats what I want im just nervous about the whole idea of spacers.

Re: wheel spacers
 

i run them on my trail rig, loc-tite is a no no. about every 500 miles take your tires off and re-torque them. i check every 500 and they are still as tight as the day i put them on, therefore i havet had to touch them. after a while they get set, meaning you dont need to torque them anymore. and cutting the studs isnt a hassle at all, unless your 90 years old, fat, and lazy

Re: wheel spacers
 

im not fat or 90, but lazy?... lol no but seriously whats a good brand to look at?

Re: wheel spacers
 

did you miss my post? I have 2 new spacers, sell cheap, will save you a few bucks. they was only bolted on my truck for a few minutes, to check wheel fitment... with the mustang wheels I have I chose the 1.5" over the 2". I can email you pics if you like?

Re: wheel spacers
 

I dunno if im going that route or not yet. thanks for the post though Ill keep you in mind incase I decide to go that route, i might just buy new rims.
