wheel spacers?????

[white_97_GT]

ok guys, i wanna get the rear wheels out a little farther on my dad's 94 gt, hes got cobra r's (stock width) i need to know how thick of a spacer i can use with the stock lugs?????
also if anyone has any pics of their spacers that would help to since i plan on making them myself, thanks

Get the H&R wheel spacers, they have their own lugs on them, so you don't have to worry about putting too big of a spacer on. They're also much safer, Stainless Steel...


And they're made by Germans

I also got a set like the H&R's. There not the same brand but have there own studs. I wemt with the 1" spacer for my cobra r's and it look awesome

i went with the 1in as well

I ordered them from Maximum motorsports but there acutally H&R's which is fine by me...

Ive had no problems so far

and well... Therian said it best

And they're made by Germans

i have 1 1/4 inch spacers on 275's from some guy on ebay, but sound the same as the H&R's with the lugs already in them.

Beware of how big of spacer you go, or you'll have to bend the inner lip of your rear fenderwell to not rub. From experience.

I just put mine on last week, I like the look. Mine are about 1.25 " And I second the note above about rubbing

I 3rd the note on the rubbing issue, I have to even put Strange Adjustables in the rear.

 

[white_97_GT]

im not worried about the rubbing, as im only going with a 1", if someone could post or send me a few pics of the spacers themselves, im not sure how the lugs are attached and whatnot, im trying to figure out how they work so i can make some, im a tool and die maker, so ive got access to all the tools/material, any help would be great, thanks

I just put some 1 1/4 wheel spacers on my car today.. I got stock 17x8 bullitts.. Came out pretty damn good actually!

I had them on, I rubbed...I took them off. I want to get some 1/2 spacers made and longer/stronger studs down the road.

Is your car lowered? I have the drag launch springs and 1" spacers. Rubbing is not a problem, but I could see if the car is lowered you would need to roll the inside of the fender.

i just ordered bbk 1.5" lowering springs for it, im going to figure out how far i can come out with the spacer before it rubs, i just need a pic of the spacer itself so i can figure out how to make it

That's the only type I would ever recommend buying

ya...and there pretty affordable on e-bay but when you install them ensure you torque the spacer to hub bolts properly 95-105 ft. lbs. and i also used loc tight on mine you dont want the spacer coming loose from the hub...
