Wheel Spacers

[U5ername]

So I cant afford new rims, and the stock ones don't look so bad.....but i don't like how they're inset so far. Would it be possible to put on 25mm wheel spacers, or is that too much? And if it is possible, would I be able to lower it any afterwards?

measure the distance from the tire sidewall to the inside of the fender

the tire clearance of the stock wheel will tell you how far you can go with the spacers.

also, i would not go any more than 3-5mm on the stock wheel studs. anything thicker, and you'll want to get longer studs.

yes with 3-5mm you can use the stock studs...

25mm spacers you can get something like this

if you try 20mm spacers you may also be able to get away with the DRM style spacers depending if the cavities behind your wheel mounting pads are deep enough... or you could drill out larger cavities or shorten the studs

"I" wouldn't run those on my car- i just wouldn't feel safe on those. with longer studs, you'll get a better torque down of the wheels to the hubs.

As shared by others, 25mm would be pushing it quite a bit.
I've also heard that spacers of that size can add wear to the car. (unconfirmed)

i would much prefer to get wheels with the correct offset than run spacers. unless you need just a little bit extra clearance. in that case, 3-5mm would be perfect.
