Default Please enlighten me on spacers....

Hello,

If the wheels you want to install have incorrect offset (for instance, too far inboard), can you use spacers to correct for this? Where do you purchase spacers? How much do they cost?

Thank you for your time!

buy the right wheels and you won't need spacers, spacers work but no spacers are better

Default Re: Thank you gentlemen! (more + question)

Imagine Homer Simpson when I say: "want A4 5 spokes on 5000...hmmmmm"

The stock wheels are 15X6 with ET 45mm. A4's are 16X7 ET 45mm. Will this reduce the inboard clearance? This is why I was wondering about spacers. I'm only interested in factory wheels...but I will need to order some tires from Eddie.


Thank you!
