45mm wheel spacer - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

exftw · 01-25-2008, 01:55 PM

I am looking to get a wheel spacer so that my tires stand out a little bit. I think it would be very sick looking after i drop the body kit and the CF hood... my question is where can i get these wheel spacers and how much would they run me for?

though, you are welcome to do whatever you like, you might want to search around (google) the effects of big spacers on your car. it can and has been done many times over on cars, but just do some reading first.

i know H&R makes some good spacers, not sure if they make them that large or not, but who knows.

given, i have a pretty large drop on my car, but i'm running a 35mm offset on my wheels, and that extra 15-25mm over stock would have be rubbing if i didn't roll the fenders AND run a decent amount of camber in the rear.

Wouldn't a 45mm spacer leave you with an offset of around 10mm? That sounds like a fender crusher.

I thought 45 would be awesome, but if its going to damage things... screw it. So what size should i go with then? say 25? 30? 35?

put up a pic/details of your wheel, then put up a pic of another car that has the wheels where you'd like them (any car, not jsut a 6)

but be prepared for some flaming perhaps, not for sure, but be ready

Autoanything.com has spacers. I have 15mm spacers on my fronts for the rims and brembos I have and it doesn't protrude out of the fender or rub.

I have another set that are 25 mm spacers sitting in my garage, that would kick your rims out really wide in the back or the front. I used them for a week they were $133.00 (Eibach Springs Pro-Spacers). If your fenders are rolled in the back you will be right up to the edge.

i would leave the spacers off... especially with a drop... i would be too worried about rubbing on the fenders, or shreding the tires.... (imo)
