Wheel spacers


I was wondering are there any negative aspects that come from installing 1.5 wheel spacers on your car?

The only think that I can think of is that your wear points will be changed. Meaning in a nut shell that your wheel bearings might go out sooner than expected.

Are you doing just the rear?

I think you can do them for the front but I don't think it will help your clearance issues.

the main thing that I would be concerned about is you will probably be only olding on to 3 or 4 threads with the stock length wheel studs

if he's going to do this right then he should get the 1-1.5" adapter plate (billet of couse)...these have studs mounted into them so that they will fit just fine...american muscle carries these
