wheel spacers for stock rims???

[kudakev615]

ive searched on here and on the net for some wheel spacers but havent come up with what i am looking for. IIRC reading some where on here that ppl run like a 5mm spacer on stock rims to get them to sit more flush with the body when lowering the car. can somebody send me a link to some where i can buy some on the web? thanks in advance, kevin

good looking out l8r on the quick response. so 5mm is what i should get for slammin my car wit ksports on stockers??

That is a good question, let me try figure this out. I think 5mm is too small though.

Or you can be CRAZY like me and run 3mm lol.

Edit*

I don't really know. Hope someone can chime in with a definite answer, for now though, I think 5mm would be good. If all else fails, slam the car and grab a ruler and measure the gap lol jp.

Wheel Adapters

If you are on stock rims, I'm guessing you have R16 with 6 in wide rims that have an offset of like 55 or something. If you really want to get your stock wheels flush with the body, you'll need to get 15mm or thereabouts wheel adapters, and I would suggest mazda-specific hubs so your stock rims will center on the hubs. I did this for my Atenza and it looked nice, but the steering got really heavy and the unsprung weight kills performance.

I would recommend adapters or spacers only as a temporary measure until you save up some money for some lighter, small offset wheels.

where did you get your 15mm spacers?

mang, those spacers are nice but i dont think im really lookin for something like that. im just gonna run them on stock wheels for a month or so until my volks come in. i think gonna try those spacers in the link provided by l8r in the 6.5mm offset and see how things go. hoping for the best

But there's an earlier post for M2 Tuning that makes similar product so go with that or others you can find on the net.

Kudakev, getting Volks are you? Nice!! Post pics when you put 'em on!

Mmm.. Volks. I would just hold off on spacers for now until you get your rims in? IDK?
