My view has always been that if race cars have spacers, then they are probably fine

[@ramadhanisme7]

Well race cars is only run on a very smooth asphalt surface so a spacer wouldn't affecting their reliability, for me if a wrc cars have spacers then i will use it on my daily

[@gregorygregory6347]

Yes, quality, vehicle specific spacers are great. Correct install required too! Low quality? I don't recommend at all. As with most cheap things, they'll probably break or fail. But in this case, it's something affecting the wheel of your car. So going cheap on these could have potentially extreme, and maybe even deadly consequences.

That was my issue running 17x8 et45 OZ rallt wheels on my 95 lancer: needed 7mm slip ons and also extended studs... all because OZ doesn't make a lower offset in 17 for the wheel. That said, slip ons over Bolt on adapters any day.

[@GaryL3803]

Bought a new doughnut wheel and skinny tire as spare for my new 2024 Civic Type R (which only had the totally ridiculous inflator kit), swapped it to the right front to check it out. With the large Brembo calipers I was worried but it had about the same clearance as the stock wheel - good. Took it out for a check ride and found it had huge torque steer to the left under power and to the right under braking. Well, as a spare that I may never use I'm not concerned. Why the torque steer? Well, the scrub radius went from almost zero to about 50mm (my approximation). So, watch out for the spacers and low offset wheels on your FWD cars. They look cool, to some, but can have really sour handling characteristics.

@@jonnyhalo1041f you install correctly and they aren’t over 50mm no real need to retorque. If you are that paranoid, drive 5 miles after install and retorque them again. I used to do this all the time, but stopped because I use a digital torque wrench(450 dollar one) and the torque was always spot on. Granted during install on anything over 30 mm I started using thread locker blue removable(i heard some use permanent) just so my brain can stop being so pu**y.

Ok, I own a 2008 accord coupe (v6MT) I REALLY want Vossen CV3-R 20x10.5 (+45) as I saw on the vossen website on a black accord like mine. I was told the car had 15mm spacers in the rear. Looks like it has a hellaflush fitment with an aggressive stretch. I'm out of my league on the technicals, but, I want a flush -hellaflush fit but with not much stretch. I do plan on rolling the fenders but what I really want to avoid is how the rear wheels sit in deeper than the front. I've seen KZbin videos of a female owned 8th generation w/the same setup and supposedly no spacers and looks right! Its confusing!! I don't know if the rears would need to be a different offset to account for the width(or does it work like that!?) Or opt for a different brand and go for a 20x11 rear (+?) Confused and afraid!! Don't wanna spend the coin and get the wrong wheel or need spacers(which im kinda afraid of!) HELP!!!

@bwedges so I ran those all the way until December with 0 issues. Someone cut me off on route 80, causing me to hit them, and I went into a ditch.
