Default Re: Spacer for front wheels

I believe most have this setup with aftermarket wheels. If they don't you can tell! Big-time! My $.0234. Good luck!
I agree wholeheartedly ... Spacers on rear are fine... It just goes against everything I NEVER learned to put spacers on the front unless the are 10mm or thinner and you never push the car hard thru turns...

Reason being is that there are alot of forces pushing against those front wheels and the entire weight of the engine directed over the fronts... I might be overly cautious, but "knock-on-wood" I haven't had a mis-hap yet...

Just get a wheel with a deeper offset that is hub-centric and forget the spacers on the front...
