20mm Wheel Spacer

[recce]

Hi all! Just wondering if anyone has put in 20mm to 25mm wheel space? Are these thing safe?

If they are slip ons, then they are dangerous, because it decreases the stud length for the nuts to screw on (if tht makes sense)...if they are hubcentric bolt on ones they are pretty safe....that said they are all illegal.

I have KICS front 20mm spacers with the 'hubcentric bolt'. Never had a problem, even been to 2 or 3 track days and to the drags with them on....

SK has a few interesting things to note about spacers here

But same goes for decreased offset on wheels really. But SK has said that he's seen quite a few spacers crack

they cant be too bad if there used on a hell of a lot of Tsukuba Circuit cars - including HKS' Monster EVO, not only that, but alot of D1 cars and MSC cars as well.

havnt seen to many problems thus far, maybe its the quality people are getting which causes wear, but from my knowledge they only eventually decrease wheel bearing life.

im running 40mm's and 25mm's, will see how they go when im drifting again

is that because you have 7.5 inch wide rims on gtr?

I run 20mm bolt on spacers on the front no problems. hubcentric aswell.

There is nothing wrong with spacers as a concept, it comes down to the quality of the thing as to whether it holds up in the end though.

My curent wheels actually come with a 15mm spacer that bolts on the back of the wheel. Trouble is that you need longer wheel studs to do it that way so i just binned it in favour of the bolt on 20mm.

I've got 25mm front spacers and 30mm rears, i've had no problems at all, even with a 2 way LSD.

No, they are definately 8inch wide but they are a +45 Supra offset

didnt think it was illegal...cos tyre places use them when they sell mags.
