Wheel Spacers

[Nav_brah]

Hey guys been lurking here for ages and decided to make an account and start posting. Bought myself a brand new D40 ST 6sp about 3 weeks ago and have caught the modding bug!

Been searching around for wheel spacers but am not quite sure which size to get. Im thinking 1.5". Whats everyone else running and have some pics to show how dramatic the difference is.

Cheers

Can't you get an aggressive offset set of wheels instead of using spacers? just a thought

No one uses wheel spacers. They're illegal for one, and you can do the same with a greater offset rim.

Spot on there, illegal . . . and your better off getting wheels with the offset you want

Thought they would be illegal. I was going to change rims but I like the genuine 6 spoke that came with the nav. Running bighorns on them now and just wanted them to poke out a little.

if you are going for a look

a 0+ offset or a - offset is the way to go

I bought some american racing wheels 7 years ago and was told they would fit but when they arrived they clashed with the calliper so I have to run spacers on the front, I dont like it but its $1600 down the drain if there sitting in the shed. I'm currently looking into maching a groove in the wheel to clear the calliper because there's plenty of meat there to do it, the wheel spacers work well but that thought in the back of my mind about having an accident or possibly killing someone if the spacers fail is allways there. Here are the wheels.

yeah good advice guys! When I get over the stock rims ill look into getting some offset rims.

Cheers
