Title: Spacers
Post by: rob-gt on 17 June 2012, 23:44

Need a bit of advise looking to space the wheels what size would I roughly need to go for to get them to stick out. A bit more I got a gt 170 with standard 17's
I know people will say up to ur own style but I dunno at all what size and of people have pics would be great
Cheers
Rob

Spacers are a pain the ass. You have to constantly check them. As you offset the wheels, the weight displacement changes and puts pressure on the hub. Stay standard in the looks department dude, it's cool!  :nerd:

Not exactly sure of your model, but with mine, anything over 6mm meant also buying longer wheel bolts $$$. I put on 8mm H&R's and the 20 longer bolts cost more than the spacers ;[
