wheel spacers: pros and cons and opinions needed

[tonaz]

i have a non-cup 182 and currently have 5mm spacers each side on the rear and 10mm each side (not hubcentric)on the front.

i can't decide whether to keep these on or perhaps have none on the back and put the 5mm ones on the front. i want it to look good but i want what's best for the handling of the car more!

any opinions for or against keeping it as it is etc?!

Should make it handle better as your increasing the track

 

[tonaz]

true just they are a chow on to get lined up so there's no wheel wobble!

 

[powey]

if thats the case then either get hubcentric ones or convert to studs

 

[tonaz]

convert to studs?

 

[powey]

Yes instead of having wheel bolts, you insert a 'threaded bar' and then when the wheel is on you place a nut onto the bar

 

[tonaz]

ah i see. will have a look into that, cheers.

 

[tonaz]

think i'll take em all off and re-do them then if that doesn't sort the wheel wobble i'll just stick the 5mm ones on the front?!

I've got 10mm hubcentric one's on mine,can't really notice any difference in the handling but the wheel fills the arch much better.........

 

[tonaz]

a just don't wanna have to pay for hubcentric ones after already buying these ones ha. you got 10mm spacers front and back?
