Thanks Ari

I agree it's best not to use spacers and to buy the correct fitment to begin with

What I'm planning is to try various spacers with my current wheels and once i'm happy with the look I'll buy my new wheels with that offset

I know you've tried a few spacers in the past, can you tell me;
Am i right in saying a 7mm spacer doesn't have a 'lip/nose' on it at all?

From what you're saying, If I trial with 7mm spacers I'd need 12-13mm longer bolts (or as near as is available) correct?

Thanks again mate

 

Just wanting confirmation....

What bolts would I need for 7mm spacers?

 

FYI, if you buy either H&R or RSS, they come with the correct bolts.

The RUF 7mm spacer I use is the only spacer I know of that has a hub centric lip on it. Even though you have a small amount of the hub sticking through the 7mm spacer its nice to have the larger lip.

 

H&R and RSS are hub centric for all spacers 7mm and larger.

 

False. 15mm and higher have hub centric lip but not 7mm spacer. Only RUF 7mm spacer has a hub centric lip.

 

My bad I guess. I could have sworn that RSS's 7mm spacer was hub centric. I'm getting old. I have their 15mm on OEM and they are of course. They are really well made. I probably would not want to use a spacer that wasn't hub centric.

 

I apologize if this is a redundant question, but if I have 19x8.5 fronts with 45 offset and 19x11 rears with 40 offset, should I get the 7mm or 15mm spacers? Also, I currently have 235 35 and 305 30 rear tires respectively.

thanks in advance

 

Great info thread. Thanks, this is just the info I was looking for.
