Spacers worth it or not

[cod3oz]

Just for looks ..will be doing a track day sometime this year but really just wanted to fill the arches a bit but after reading some of the horror stories on here about the failing had second thoughts any advice would be most appreciated

I bet that more people have them and haven't had issues over those that have.

I'd say go for it. I have and I never had a issue. I'd do it again too.

And I'd say, the exact opposite. 😂

 

[Jekyll]

Haha. I think it comes down to experience. Like anything really.

People have had no issues, others have. Ie: me and you

Do you agree with Mark's first statement though @adalis?

As always Mr J ill take your advice methinks ..had read up on your past posts to other peeps just wanted to know you still think they are a good idea now ..so we talking 20mm on the front and 15 on the back that way i keep it oem ... is that 20mm on both front wheels and not 10mm on each before i go and do another dumbassed thing to my beast

 

[Jekyll]

Good to hear.

20mm fronts (20mm per side) and 10mm rear hub spacers (10mm each side, the ones that sit behind the rear hubs)

 

[KitsonRis]

Just torque them up to the correct amount and you shouldn'thave issues....famous last words and that. Just get bolt to hub ones

 

[adamlstr]

Do you agree with Mark's first statement though @adalis?

Yeah, that's my point!

 

[Crybert]

As much as they look great id never do it. There's just extra stress on everything which puts me off. Same with lowering springs. The ride comfort is compromised but it does look great. Just depends what you're after. I'm after a drivers car with some comfort as opposed to a harsh ride and potential suspension issues associated with spacers

 

[Martin.]

I would never do it either, not worth the worry for me. Although plenty of people do with no issues.

If you're going to do it, get the best ones you can buy, H&R Trak+ I think they're called, they come with steel threaded inserts. Don't get any cheap s**t.

I have a 5mm spacer on the front with studs. Which means the wheel can still sit on the standard hub lip.

They have been used on cars for years, all things on cars fail its just your luck, just make sure they are hubcentrics and check there tight every time you check your fluids and tyre pressures.
I wouldn't say bolt to hub are any better they have twice as many bolts to fail, on standard wheels you neednat least 20mm on front imo still not done my rears
Many people use the shims for reads but since the mad don't reply I not been able to get them

 

[imprezaworks]

I have H&R 20mm spacers and the car looks and drives spot on. I have also ran spacers on track with no issues

I ran some H&R Trak+ spacers on my A3 previous to my 182 for around a year and a half and had no issues what so ever and an A3 is a bit heavier than a Clio.
