Cool, thanks

what did those cost? I have the 18x7 +52 1st Gen MS3 wheels. I'm curious what size spacer I need to get them flush

25mm or more.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

25mm or more.

Wow, is running a spacer that big safe?

 

[rar40941]

Ya if u do it right hung is doing it

 

[JDM_Pro5]

Pics?

*Edit* I was hoping he had flush MS3 wheels. I'm curious what it looks like. I see his car and where is is running H&R 25mm Spacers on the Rear

A lot of VW guys run fat spacers like that to convert other wheels to their hub pattern. When you go that big, you have to do bolt-on spacers. I would not run super long studs with slide-on 25mm spacers.

oh god no, I would never trust anything past 10mm that wasn't bolt on. I just wanted to make sure 25mm bolt on spacers were safe with stock studs.

I ran bolt on adapters for hte vette wheels

You still have your old rims?? If so how much?

 

[JDM_Pro5]

^if you're asking me, they're gone. Pretty much traded my wheels and new tires for current wheels and lightly used tires

 

[rar40941]

Uhmm ok I am going to run 15 mm I am so stoked for this

 

[JDM_Pro5]

^ should look much better. What camber do you have planned for the front? I Circuit is running -2.5* in the front and it looks perfect

 

[rar40941]

Here is a before and after pic

[INeedMoarLow]

Isn't the purpose of "hellaflush" to tuck tire and poke rim? You were doing that before the spacers

 

[rar40941]

Ya but wasnt poking enough now it's poking perfectly

 

[INeedMoarLow]

Ohh Okkk

 

[rar40941]

Perfection

 

[Brian_K]

[rar40941]
