DIY C8 CORVETTE WHEEL SPACER INSTALL | FIX THE STANCE WITH NO RIDE COMPROMISE | $120 KIT

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

I installed them to my 2024 1LT, and I had to go get an angle grinder and cut off wheels, and snip off about half an inch off all my stock lugs... I tried grinding but it simply wasn't enough... So per Paragon's advice, I cut the ends off all the stock lugs, about 1mm above where the threads start.

Just ordered my spacers , going to do next week when I do the exhaust

[@JoesGarage-c8corvette]

I did the same thing with the same spacers. They are great!

[@Fulloctanegarage]

Did you torque the spacers or just use the impact? I have been trying to figure out how to torque the front spacers, guess I could have someone step on the brake.

[@VetOnVettes]

Without an impact you would have to either use a large pry bar in the studs or have someone put their foot on the brake. I have 300ftlbs impact & set it to half power to torque them. The C8 lugs are 150ftlbs. Good question.

[@Fulloctanegarage]

@@VetOnVettesThanks, I am probably going to get these for my C8. Thanks for the video.

[@VetOnVettes]

@@Fulloctanegarage you bet 👍

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

I also put blue locktite on the spacer lug nuts, and then tightened them to 140ft/lbs. Also, don't do the grinding in the garage... that Dremel is throwing off a ton of tons metal bits and abrasive materials into the air in there, which is settling on the car on the paint!

[@Ryan-kk2rr]

Did the spacers come with torque specs or instructions? Their website shows the specs to be way below factory specs or paragon specs. Just worried about over torqued studs.

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

@@Ryan-kk2rr Same as the factory wheels, 150ft/lbs is what I was told

[@TheEdshemery]

Such a great improvement! Thanks for sharing.

[@VetOnVettes]

Agreed. You bet.

Hey I’m local in the 757 I have the CMG color matched z51 wing and splitter as well I’m getting rid of in the upcoming year

[@VetOnVettes]

I've already procured a black spoiler, however I would be interested in the splitter for sure!

[@trcythmpsn]

My c8z 5 spoke reps I got from OEwheels didn't need to be grinded any. I heard other aftermarket wheels dont need it either.

[@VetOnVettes]

Yeah it seems to be very hit or miss with the stock wheels. The rear left I barely had to even touch (probably didn't even have to). The front right I had to take a bunch off. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@tikijojo]

Great video. Question, after filing it down, does it make the lugs unusable if you ever want to go back to stock?

[@VetOnVettes]

Not at all. You aren't filing down the threads themselves. The threads start about an inch back. So you could easily go back to stock.

[@sebastiensevigny1552]

What is the brand? 121,99$...

[@cs1375]

If they reduce the wheel bearings by 10% you can make a video changing them and make the money back

[@lanebarker297]

HOW ODD !!!!!!!!...... I just ordered a set of these last night and you just posted this vid 2day!

[@VetOnVettes]

Haha awesome. With a jack and tools ready you can do all 4 corners in an hour.

[@josephbogart3633]

I used the same spacers. they are great

[@lanebarker297]

I've seen others use the Dremel on the inside of their wheels instead of their wheel studs.

[@VetOnVettes]

I personally would never touch the wheel and mess up balancing it. A wheel is $500. An ARP wheel stud replacement is $2.99. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@leonardanderson8072]

Any scrubbing?

[@VetOnVettes]

You mean tire rub on the fenders etc? No, none at all.

[@leonardanderson8072]

@@VetOnVettes thanks, used 20 mm spacers on my C7 Z51, and it seemed everything made it scrub in the rear. I'll definitely will be doing this. Your videos give a big help with what I can do on my C8. Thank you

[@richardelliott8352]

I struggle to make a positive comment when guy addresses basic design considerations with " I don't know" I care about such stuff much more than what the car looks like.

[@lanebarker297]

The "tuck" gap on the C8 wheel make me want to throw up

[@juansaladzar]

Jesus you did the spacers & you lowered it now just leave it alone brah
