when should you consider using them. i have the speedmaster 15x6.5's (40mm offset) on my 96 hatch. when i turn the wheel almost to full lock, and put a lot of load on the suspension, i scrape the tire on the inside front of the frame......i never had this problem with a 38mm offset wheel.

can you run a 2mm wheel spacer without upgrading to longer wheel studs? what is the general rule on how much thread engagement is mandatory for safety?

BTW, i just put on some Azenis. i know they will be worse than my pirelli p700's have been. thanks.

 

Most guys say the safest is 7-8 FULL turns of your lugs. I have a 3mm spacer and I get 8 turns.

 

I have yet to see any 2mm spacers... about the smallest I have seen is 3mm.

If you are interested I have an extra set that I have no need for. Hit me up on email or PM if you are interested.

CivicSIRacer....does that mean 99+ si? anyways, would i then have problems with rubbing on the fender if i use as much as a 3mm spacer? what wheel tire combo are you running?

 

not interesting i know, but i'd appreciate any help....hasn't anyone else come across the same problem on the autoX circuit?

 

hey ford......5mm spacers on 99 si hubs, 92 cx hubs.....no rubbing .....probably 4-5 turns on the studs with the nuts with antiseize.....NO PROBLEMS!!! i just rolled my front fenders....
