Hey guys recently I got a great deal on some wheels from a local guy they are 18x8.5 30 he had it on his Evo 8 but he used front spacers so it will clear our brembo it looked really good so I bought the wheels and he gave me the spacers for free, I was wondering will that affect my car in any way I do not race I use it for DD. He only used the spacer for the front the rear doesn't need spacers? Any advice or personal experiences with running spacers is greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

 

Different car but same scenario. I have been running 25mm bolt on spacer then put 70mm long studs in the bolt on and have used a 20mm slip on. I dailyed this set up for almost a year with no issue. So with the math that 45mm spacer daily and drift use with no issues. Some will claim that spacer will affect wheel bearing but I been running spacers for years and never had an issue.

 

Thanks he told me the spacers on the front were only 20mm it look like it bolted onto the rotors/studs? and have their studs on them look pretty solid I just don't want it to have a long term affect on my brakes/bearings/suspensions etc.

 

Anyone esle have experience with spacers?
Thanks

 

As long as they are from a reputable company, you will be fine. A lot of people run them
