Spacers

[EFOptmst]

Summit offers 5mm and 15mm spacers. I think it was them anyhow. You can get them anywhere. These space your tires a little further apart, which in any case would improve handling. Right? Why don't more people have them on thier cars? Wider is better, is it not?

i have 45mm spacers on...i think they 45mm, all i kno is that they are huge...wide is good up to a point, any wider after that, it starts putting way too much stress on your axles and they go blammy...my axles are about to go super blammy...

the other concern is fender rub.......not to mention rubbing fenders = rust over time!

& extra stress on the lug studs & wheel dearings.

if you pick wheels with the correct offset, you don't need spacers. if you run too low of an offset (either by adding spacers or buying a low offset wheel) you'll increase stress on the wheelbearings as well as increase your scrub radius. simply put, tons of scrub radius is bad for handling and really bad for torque steer.

besides that, remember that hondas are hubcentric. too much offset and your wheels go bam wobble!

How about how large of an offset I can have and still have it be safe or is offset safe and spacers not?

[EFOptmst]

Are your rims offset at all?

[EFOptmst]

Do you have pictures of the spacers and rims on your car?

Offset FTW, spacers FTL.

Edit: Editing posts FTW.

Ok that pic doesnt really help me. Does everyone just quess on their rims? I want mine to stick out a little but I want it to improve my handling as well, and most of all I dont want it to damage my car in the long run, what do you suggest? Do you have pictures of mentioned or can direct me to something to show the differences between offset rims?

[k1dfreeze]

i buy and return...actually right now, im borrowing a bunch of different size and offset wheels to see what fits...

Is that the only way to find out what you like the most?
