If i put some spacers on under my standard honda rims, will this affect the handling or camber???

 

Depends how big of a spacer? Why do you want spacers? Anything over a 5mm spacer, I reccommend longer wheel studs.

 

Just wanna bring the wheels out a little more. Just so they dont sit so far in the wheel arch. Gay reason, but hey.

Yes.

You will need extended wheel studs to get them out that far.

unless the wheels and or tires are too wide for the stock or even aftermarket offset then I agree this is a foolish idea.

Sounds to me like he has the stockers on.

 

You will get more cornering grip from adding spacers, because you are increasing the track width.

But at the same time, you are softening up the suspension too, because you are retarding the motion ratio. So the car would feel a bit sluggish in the left-right transition.

You are also increasing the scrub radius, making the steering response a bit slower.

These are the pros and cons. So in terms of handling effects, it's all about compromise.

 

good info

I just want to make sure that you feel this is thoroughly well considered, and that you're standing by an evident recommendation that 5mm spacers can be used with OEM wheel studs.

I'd also like to know from anyone using the H&R 5mm spacers from King if the included studs are exactly 5mm longer than the OEM DC2 ITR studs.

Thanks very much for any help you can provide.

Well, I'm going by my own personal experience. I have yet to be on track with the spacers, but from street abuse, I see nothing wrong. I'll let you know this weekend how they fare on track.

 

It probably depends on the wheel. On my Volks, I'm only able to get about 4.5 turns on the lug nut. I wouldn't feel comfortable at all taking that on a track, and wouldn't.

This is about as good of an answer as your going to get. Now, go install the spacers, drive it, and make your own decision

 

nothing wrong with a fat boy stance. but then again. of course you loose the feel.
