how dangerous are bolt-on spacers?

[rthy]

for normal day to day driving? or harder driving?

racsov: Do you use locktight etc?

[R&D Mechanical]

I would only use them on the track, if your insurance company saw them you are fucked.

ok say i got 5mm on the front, and they were bolt on, and i had put locktite on, how often would i need to check ? do these things losten themselfs or what

prob a bit of daily/spirited driving

[racsov]

nope broski just grease the studs as you do anyway

[Cerby86]

i'm reasonably sure that 5mm bolt on's don't exist! And secondly all that trouble for five more mm?? fark that! you would barely be able to see that and you wouldn't notice any difference especially if your only daily driving!

[skaney]

no way you could get 5mm bolt ons. If you were to get hubcentric slip ons, I dont see any problem with 5mm ones.

I've used bolt ons a lot, on the track, in the hills, daily driving.. no probs. Make sure they are decently made and shouldnt be any problem.

well i want it for clearance cause my tyres r scrubbing on my coilovers. or are going to

[R&D Mechanical]

get better wheels.

slip on spacers max out to 8mm i think? personaly i would max it at 5mm and bolt on from 15mm


just get 20mm bolt ons good qulity ones and it will look sick, PM AJPS

everyone says get better wheels but i doubt ssr formula mesh isthat available its not the offset really the extra width... if u can get me good size meshies for about 400-500 then yes show me the light.
