New wheel spacers??????
 

So ever since ive had my Z06 wheels on, Ive had rubbing issues on the inner fender in the rear. It wasnt bad, just kinda took the coating off to bare metal on the inner fender. So I decided to buy some wheel spacers, I bought 1 inch spacers thinkin the tires wouldnt stick out TOO much. Well I put them on, and idk how I feel about them, I actually kinda dont like the way they look, I think the tires stick out WAY too much, and I dont feel like beating the piss out of my inner fenders. So im thinkin 1/2 inch spacers would be better. What do you guys think of them?

i personally think it looks sweet man

Thanks, but I think the tires stick out just a bit too much, 1/2 will take care of my rubbing, and I think it would look better.

hey man your ride and your choice... But in terms of the rubbing thats what I would first take into consideration... I mean looks are a lot but living in New England and rubbing away that clear coat and scuffing will constantly allow that salt and whatever else nasty shit our roads have on the to beat the open unprotected surface of that fender... leading to that thing we're all so fond of up here, rust and rot ha.

Keith are the wheels sitting flush with the fenders now?

Spacers are bad mmmkay hit the insides with a bfh

The tires stick out just a hair past the fender.

My84z- I know thats what alot of people do, but Im not all for that, I dont really want to alter the bodily structure of the car.

It doesn't dent it like u think. And i will take that dent over sheered lugs and the wheel coming off.

Bfh is the right way. Hit the spots smooth the paint that area.

Alright, I guess Ill do that then, will a 3 pound sledge do the job? And anyone wanna buy some spacers?????? :emot-sotw: haha

they can be massaged to not looked smashed in

also with a 1" spacer when you take the wheels off make sure the lugs aren't bent cause 1" is alot. you might not even be on many threads be careful

The spacer itself has its own lug studs pressed into it, so you bolt up the spacer to the original car's studs, and then you bolt the wheel up the studs coming out of the spacer.

those are a BAD idea. take them off and get WS6 bump stop spacers. wont hit the wheels wells any more. those type of spacers are for shit box imports that make 12 hp. on any car with a good amount of torque will eventually shatter those spacers.

Haha thats good to know haha, my brother had them on his 03 cobra, im suprised they lasted as long as they did, and that car made quite a bit of power haha, guess hes just lucky.

yeah ive seen some pretty bad failures of some spacers similar to those over the years. Stupid fucking widebody kits around here.
