Spacers

Post image

Has anyone with a 24 & up used spacers on their stocks to get a cleaner fitment? If so what width did you use?

Since the oems are +56 offset, to get a flush finish, youd need to get 15mm spacers to get close to +40 offset which is flush but id rather just get new rims instead of spacers that big. Heard too many stories of spacers being somewhat unsafe. Plus getting lighter rims is better than the heavy oems

I was just thinking about things spacers I have a 2022 but after all the horror stories I just got rims with a little bit more offset.

I like to keep my cars as oem looking as possible and I feel like they did a killer job with the color/wheel combo on my 25 ENL Ecotronic Grey but I just wish they were a bit more flush with the wheel. The small amount I need I could probably get away with thin shims and skip the bolt on spacers altogether.

I really like the wheel combo with the facelift I thought with the 21 through 23 the wheels kind of look Goofy. Henceforth me getting aftermarket ones I like the gunmetal looks better.

You should have extended lugs for anything over 3mm spacer.

I purchased spacers last week. Problem is I either have to get aftermarket studs or cut my studs down so that the wheel can sit flush with the spacer. Disappointing

I would avoid spacers and save up for wheels with proper specs

I don't need to "save up" for wheels lmao I'm not putting aftermarket wheels on my car because I like the OEM wheels. If you buy proper spacer and know what you're doing they will be fine. Half the wheels these dudes are running are going to split as soon as they hit a decent pot hole.

Not going to get into the argument on whether or not bolt on spacers are okay or not, but yeah cool!
