  • Spacers

    Can you stack spacers? I found rims I like, but they have an offset of 0, and I need 45 I believe to fit my Camaro. But, I can only find 15, 20, and 25 spacers. Could I stack two of them to get the right spacing?

    I wouldn't if I were you. Sounds like it would be too much of a load on the lug studs. Not only that, but you may not get too much thread left on the studs with stacked spacers. Either one is unsafe at any speed!

        You'd be spacing the wrong way. So no it won't work.

          OK. So anyone know of any place that sells 45mm or more spacers for our cars?

            Did you read my post? Spacers are going to make it worse by 45mm so now you'll be off 90mm instead of just 45mm. Also spacing depends on what width rim you're buying. You may need more or less then 45mm. I run 38mm all around (on 8.5" / 10" wide) and before that ran 15mm spacing. Also if its 0mm offset I'd put money its not a bolt pattern that will fit unless they're custom. The lowest offset I know thats even close is a 15mm offset for the BMW 7 series.

                Don't think you can use them as I said you can't remove anymore. They're going to stick out to far.

                You can put in the specs of your current wheel and this wheel and it will tell you what kind of difference there is between the two. I thought the 16x8 stock wheels were around 55mm offset so those wheels would stick out a little over 2" farther then stock wheels. If you put a 45mm spacer on it then the wheels would stick out just under 4".
