Wheel Spacers.

Dansby · January 11th, 2009, 10:22 PM

Not asking what they do or anything like that, just asking people who HAVE THEM or have had experience with them. My rear tires are rubbing against my exhaust, (315s will tend to do that). Don't say "oh, just bend the pipes." We've tried that, still rubs, haha.

So, wheel spacers. Any luck with them? Do they tend to break? I don't plan on launching the car hard, just strictly need them to put some space between the tires and pipes.

if you like sheering off studs in hard turns they are a great idea.

dont get them, go to a better exhaust shop they can fix it

Get hubcentric ones and you'll be fine in the strength department.

i still would never trust then especially with a tire that big and heavy he will still sheer a stud

See, I've heard what green has said from a few different people. But I've also heard it's only if you launch hard to carve corners, which I do neither. I just drive, haha.

itll happen more commonly then, but I have personally seen them sheer off when my buddy turned hard to miss a deer

Good news! Took it to a guy James (whiteboycustoms) suggested and got the pipes from the muffler back redone and no rubbing and he made sure there was clearence for whenever I lower it! Great guy too.
