vtec2011 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I recently took my alloys off as it keeps rubbing on the bottom suspension arm and the inner arch. It only rubs when on full lock so its not that serious. Will be ideal to have the alloys back on and have a bit of wheel poke I was looking on the net for spacers and I have seen a lot of people say bad things about them. Some say spacers puts strain on the wheel bearings and cause excessive wear. Some say they been using spacers for years and never had a problem with them. But has anyone had spacers on their M's? If so have you had any problems and did you have to make changes for wheel alignments? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgor Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 when i've got the genuine 96 spec ITR wheel's on i have to run 3mm spacer's on the front, their not universal one's they were made for the stud diamiter so are a realy good fit. not had no issue'syou only tend to find you have issue's when you combine a very large spacer (talking 10mm +) and aftermarket wheel's with the plastic spigot ring. the spigot ring support's the weight of the car not the wheel stud's as they can break.

vtec2011 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Sounds good How long have you used the spacers for? And did you use extended studs? I might get these 3mm Hubcentric spacers as they got good reviews on themhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-3mm-Hubce ... 2c6a5f0458 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtec2011 Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Wow Shadz M looks amazing! 25mm is a bit over the top lol. I think 3mm should be enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philgor Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 didn't use extended stud's as there is plenty of stud left for the nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastgtir Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 with just a little spacer you should be okay, but bigger ones then its wise to use spigot rings and extended studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
