Wheel Spacers

[01 Cobra]

Guys I've heard both good and bad. I really do'nt have the cash right now for new wheels but I want to beef it up. What do you think?

I have heard that they are allright for normal driving, but not to race with them, just another thing to break. They should be easy to put on and take off, I would imagine atleast. there are some before and after shots on my link below. I don't know the backspacing on saleen wheels, But even from the side it looks better, and should handle better, with the wider stance. good luck, I would check out eibach or something first, and see what kind of guarantee they have.

As long as they are made out of Billet 1061(?) aluminum they should be safe for racing too.

I got them from Maximum Motorsports. Billet aluminum with hardened studs. Probably as strong as the axle. Made a huge difference in how the car looks.

Instead of MM, try http://www.stangsuspension.com

They sell the same H&R spacers that MM does for less and they also sell the new Eibach spacers which are the same as the H&R and are also cheaper yet...

can you mix sizes? like .25 inch spacers up front and 1 inchers in the back?? I noticed that with the really small spacers, you just replace your stock studs with new longer ones. Is that a safe thing to do? thx, if my question makes any sense

 

[missouri_guy197]

Sure it should work fine, but remember the smaller spacers are not hubcentric which won't make them as safe as if they were hubcentric...

 

[chuckstang95]

Ya, what if you use longer hardened studs for those non hubcentric .25" spacers, would that be safer then just stock bolts or no?
also, I would imagine that an allignment would be needed after you install spacers, is that true???

 

[chuckstang95]

Is an alignment needed after installed?

 

[wythors]

No.

thx

THANKS FOR THE REPLIES. ANYBODY GOT ANY PICS OR SOME SPACER SIZES TO START WITH. SORRY ABOUT ALL THE QUESTIONS BUT THIS IS UNCHARTED TERRITORY FOR ME.
