How many spacers can I use?

[5.0guy]

The dude I bought my car from got the wrong offset(?) rims, and I get some rubbing on my tailpipes/inner body(?). so how many spacers can I use in the back. I want it to be safe, but I don't want the rubbing either. thanks

safest is no spacers but if you have to run them use the smallest one possible and only one

I 100% agree with that statement. The only safe wheel spacer is one in the garbage can.

Hmmmm,

If you want to run a spacer you need to make sure it is a hub centric spacer of high quality like the H&R spacers. Never never never stack spacers!!!!

The other two statements are a bit off base... I can point you in the direction of as many race teams as you would like to hear about that run spacers... I can also point you in the direction of a few auto manufactures and high-end tuners that also use H&R Spacers...

What is the difference between the H&R spacers, and others? Thanks for any insight.

just get some coilovers for the rear and you wont have anymore problem's.

Kind of an expensive/overkill solution to his problem, don't you think?

Just exactly how would adding rear coilovers stop rubbing on the tail pipe?

H&R MAC or eibech sell hub centric spacers.

these are billet pieces that have their own studs mounted in them they mount to your current studs and you mount your wheel against them on the new studs.

safer and are available form like .75-1.5 i believe

If anything, adding coil overs are going to create another rubbing issue.

If its mostly just hitting the tails, you COULD run dumps and eliminate the problem. But that brings up other very minor issues, none of which are really that big of a deal.
But if its hitting the body, youve got other problems
