Re: wheel spacers???
I came here looking on info for installing 305's in the rear of my srt6...came across all this hub bub regarding spacers, first off, I have put them on every car I've owned NEVER had issues, here's why.... NEVER, EVER, buy a spacer kit without lugs, the minute you reach for your grinder and hacksaw, your in trouble...if someone sells spacers without lugs, don't install them. My needswings spacers have taken me to 287km/hr. No problemo. And they look absolutely bitchin.... Now bak to my tires. Just finished my nitrous install, I'm wondering what rim would fit a 305 tire safely, I might just get all new rims, cuz I'm starting to face the fact that 305's won't fit a stock SRT rim, is this true? Or should not be so greedy And go 295's??...anyone?...anyone at all?
Re: wheel spacers???
I don't want to screw things up, so I'm just going to go ahead and ask...
I just purchased some Stern ST1 wheels. Fronts are 18x8.5 5x112 35mm. Rears are 19x9.5 5x112 35mm. I'm putting stock size tires on these rims.
Reading some of these horror stories, I'm scared to do it myself and I'm scared to have a porfessional shop do it.
I want the offset to be as safe and original as possible I guess, so can I go with no spacers in the front and 15mm hub centric spacers in the back and call it good?
Then the bigger question, if I do no spacers in the front and 15mm spacers in the back, are there specific lug nuts I can buy so that I don't have to grind anything down? I thinik Maxcichon said I would need tapered lug nuts for the Stern ST1's. Do I look for lug nuts of a specific size (length and width) for tuner wheels?
If different spacing or no spacing whatsoever makes it so I can easily buy lugs and not have to modify them, I am also open to that suggestion.
Sorry for the newbish questions. This is my first "fun" car and I want to have it right for when the snow melts and spring comes.
