spacer help? need to buy some. vendor?
hey
i just but my forgestar wheels on the front and they are rubbing against the strut. the rims are 19x9 with a 235/35/19 tire. I would like to buy some spacers i just dont know how much space i would need i was looking at h and r has some spacers and im going to need also longer bolts. If you could help that would be great as i know the h and r trak spacers from **********s vary from 5mm-30mm Thanks for your help!! |

H&R is a good Product. I ordered Macht Schnell for myself that include longer bolts as well. Still waiting for them to be shipped.
If your main concern is to clear the area between tire & strut, I'd suggest you measure the distance from your tire to another suspension part in the car. Then loosen the bolts and pull the tire out until it looses contact with strut. Now do the same measurement and the difference will be your spacer size. I would guess 5 mm is the way to go if it's rubbing slightly. This is the best way I can think of, maybe someone else has better ideas. http://www.europeanautosource.com/in...1acdc05250f651 Quote:

ok just checking if this would work i have 19x9 in the front with 235/35/19 tire i believe the offset is 35 but could be wrong and the front rims rub on the strut i was thinking about doing a 12mm spacer?
and the rears are 19x10 with 265/30/19 tires and dont rub but think im going to bring them out with a 15mm spacer? what do you guys im looking at h and r spacers, macht schnell spacers, and bms spacers. The other question is would these spacers fit and work with forgestar rims? Thanks for your help! |

Ok, just checked my tracking number. Mine should arrive by Wed so looks like they're in stock.
If your goal is to just clear the space between tire and strut, I don't think you need that big of spacers. If your goal is this plus making the tires stay flush with fenders for a more aggressive look, then follow this link and that should help you decide what spacers you need for both front and back. The spacers should work fine with any wheels that are made to fit your car. http://www.ichibausa.com/whspad.html Last edited by SHOWTIME; 04-17-2011 at 08:44 AM.. |
