Opinions on spacers

[x5carl3tMurd3rx]

you could run 10s in front and 15s in back and be fine all day

....... how do you figure? I had to get extended studs to run my 10mm spacers in the rear.

i have the same questions about spacers. Same size and offset wheels too. So 10mm in the front, 15mm in the rear?

before I even begin to answer, you have to label exactly what size those tires you have on are.

and your wheels aren't 17s.

both these facts change the situation.

I would get 15-20mm spacers all around. The Ichiba V2's that are bolt on if I were running 17x7 +45 offset. I'm running 20mm in rear and 10mm in front on my 17x8+45's

explain? how would tire size and the fact that my wheels aren't 17's change the fact that I had to get extended studs.

listen talk to Paul dude, he gave me the rundown on sizing for these things.

I'm not arguing because I don't care.


I gave my answer based on my specific setup, I can run 10s in front and 15s or even 20s in back all day.

and are you sure you *had* to? I thought Ichiba had that one set that didn't need to deal with all that.

So you're telling me that I could run 10mm spacers, front AND rear, with a 17x7 +45 wheel?

Patrick, they were all talking about being able to run 10mm and 15mm in terms of clearance.

Yes, you have to run extended studs OR get spacers with built-in studs if you're going with more than 5mm spacer. But they weren't trying to say that they are running 15mm spacers on stock studs.

That's where I was getting lost. I know you can run 5mm on STOCK studs, but anymore than that and you better have extended studs. Which is something Im not too fond of doing as of yet.

Sure it'll be HerraFrush, but im also 4x4 status, lol.

I find this interesting, because I have no spacers up front and the face of my Acura wheels (18x8 +45) are flush with the fender, if not sticking out a little bit...

What I was going to say.

Though I was hoping Tyler had found a secret way of running giant spacers on stock studs.
