Looking for spacer recommendations

Think internal Bill.

Geezz... I though the spacer was so the wheel/tire would not rub... or did I miss something??? Happy with my OP Mustang spacers.

Oh, I know Tyme, but it was just there for the taking, ha?!

FWIW, last weekend at VIR, in the rain, I was swapping wheels spacers on every car, big ones, little ones, 1 inch ones, hub centric and non hub centric..the wheel studs were for the most part, stock size but made by ARP..and longer, nothing seemed to phase these cars. I'm not sure but we may have been overthinking all these spacer issues.

That's good to know, gives me more peace of mind. I ran a set of wheels that weren't hub centric for years and never had any vibration issues but it was a reputable manufacturer so at least I felt that the wheel was well designed. With so many spacer options, it's hard to say what was well designed and tested and what wasn't. It only takes one bad spacer or bolt to ruin a day (or a car...).

I prefer to run without because the grey jelly between my ears tells me so but I don't notice anything different with the 25mm spacer I run with up front.

Have you ever timed before/after? Just curious because a 25 mm spacer is a 2" increase in front track (total) which isn't negligible, all else being equal.

Just got my Motorsport Tech spacers today! Missed delivery last week and picked them up on the way to work, very happy with how long (or little) it took to get here. Will snap a couple of pictures when I get home.

No, that was the point!

Not with the same tire setup.

Thanks Tyme. Wish I could try mine without but the new setup doesn't fit without the spacers
