wheel spacers strength?
I've got to use about an 1 1/2 inch or 2 inch spacer on my rear wheels. How strong are they? I'm putting 275/40/17 nitto drag radials on the car. It should run 12's or so.
Thanks,
Todd

If they are billet, made by a reputable company, and installed properly, they should be fine. I have spacers on all 4 corners of mine and have had no problems. Best bet is to talk to a company that makes them. Make sure they have a warrenty and complete installation instructions. Do a search on the companies as well to see what people think of their product.

Soon 400+. Right now, not worth mentioning. Spacers should be safe on a 12 second car. That not much more than a stock 4th gen. Keith Manny at Year One has been running spacers for a couple years. Joe says he thinks the car runs 12s. Give him a call. He can probably steer you the right way. 800-950-9503.

What my HP #s? Oh I already got berated once by a guy. Though its good for a V-6. The V-6 guys were impressed a 140,000+ motor could still run stock #s. My torque was higher than stock though. Let me get the injectors fixed and then I will Dyno it again.
