wheel spacer troubles

[97wht3800]

i put wheel spacers on only my back two tires on the passenger side it looks perfect but on the drivers side its sticks out about a half inch more than the other is there any reason why it would do this? the spacers are both the same size

Re: wheel spacer troubles

Thats weird? is your car dropped? if its droped enough is moves the axle to the drivers side slightly becouse the panhard rod has to pivit . hod big are your spacers and what wheels you got?

I dont know but when I got my TT2's on the shop had to use a spacer but only on the left front. I thought that was weird.

You will need to center your rear end. I also highly suggest getting rid of those wheel spacers if you can.


btw. Why are you using spacers on a GM stock F-Body rim? They are unnecessary.

Re: wheel spacer troubles

Where did you get your spacers? I tried to order the 25mm Eibach spacers, but was told that they were still in development(???)

Re: wheel spacer troubles

I've never personally used them, but I've read alot of horror stories off of ls1tech. I suppose it could be different with the differences between horsepower, but it doesn't sound pretty.

I still don;t understand why you would even use them with stock GM rims for an F-Body....they are useless.

Re: wheel spacer troubles

it puts more shearing stress on the bolts. meaning if ur car was built up enough, u could break the bolts and lose a wheel. also, if there's not enough thread engagement between the bolt and the lug nut, u could rip the threads off and lose a wheel that way. I think 1/2" is the most u'd ever wanna go, and definitely get some ARP extended lub bolts.

Re: wheel spacer troubles

i think he used adapters not spacers for 1.25 inches!?! but i bet thier aluminum, is this like what you used? you center the axle with a adjustable panhared rod
