Wheel spacers

[Wesley]

Im going to make some wheel spacers just wondering how wide you's recon i should make them my zook is a 92 so its a wt and has 5"lift, 31"x10.5" tyres on 15x7 roh rims, tyres are about 5mm past guards now i was thinking 3" spacers do yous think this will effect my turning circle to much is so would i be better off going 2"spacers .

[MARKx4]

It would be easier and wouldnt stand out as much with the law if you just get the centers cut, fliped and offset a little more...

[bigsteve]

Also keep in mind that the more offset the harder it will be to steer.

I'd get your rims flipped with 2.5 inch BS

[OldGold]

3" spacers would be pretty heavy on wheel studs too I would have thought

[ausyota]

And wheel bearings.
I would go 2" max.

Cut and flipped rims may be better but at least with spacers you can just remove them if the law doesnt like em.
If you have modified rims and the law takes a disliking to them you need to get new rims and have your tyres swapped.

This is true but a 15X7 modded to 2.5 inch BS is hardly noticed.

Its only when you flip and reweld for "Maximum" ofset it looks blatently obvious.

I was going to make spacer's incase i get some mag's/alloys later. but i think ill just go 2". Would yous use mild steel or somthing like 4140?.

No judgement cast on your fabrication skills

Is it really a wise move making DIY wheel spacers, I know the ones you buy do not appear to be easily coppied.

Just my 2 cents (especially when rim flipping is $40 per rim prof. done)

[bazooked]

its real easy dude we both work in a machine shop and im his boss

[Wesley]

I can make them easy enough and it dosnt cost me anything to flip rims so im just going to make the spacers and if i have problems with them then ill think about fliping my rims. I was going to make the spacers with factory wheel studs/nuts so as long as all the nuts are tight i cant see a problem with them.

Lol taught me everything i know so if my wheel's fall of i can blame you

[bazooked]

I that case i withdraw my previous comments

And place an order for 4 1ich spacers for suzuki 5 stud.

[Wesley]

Screw it im making 3"spacers if i find them to wide ill sell them(for a profit) and make 2"spacers sounds good to me.

[Wesley]

Does $90 for 20 wheel studs/nuts sound to expensive to you guys. There new not 2ndhand. If so anyone know where you can get them cheaper in WA.

Usually most "Wheel works" type business, any place that repairs rims will be able to do it.

Realistically you could pop the centres out yourself (just unpick the welds) and get the re welded
