wheel spacer questions

i knwo i need them to run the set up i am looking at. i looked around and saw that some people did 2" and some did 2.25"

is there any difference? should i be safe and get 2.25?

Wheels: 17 x 9.5 / 56mm replica. These wheels are manufactured in a original equipment plant to original specification. They are DOT, JWL, VIA and TUV approved. They are side impact and load bearing tested. They are manufactured with the highest quality A-365.2 virgin aluminum. The finish is superior and we are the manufacture.

^^ Zr1s, with 275/40/17

thanks for the help

all 4 are that size? What company is making them?

Oh well either way, that .25" shouldn't make any problem at all. Use 2 or 2.25. I use 2" spacers and run 17x9.5 and 17x11" with 275s and 335 now. good luck

Not bad, I got mine for 510 shipped, just rims though. Then I found a guy on here that sold me the tires for 210.

Sonds like a good deal you got there. I would say go for it and get whatever spacers are cheaper..

Oh.....well that is a queston that no one can really answer. Most shops will know, some won't. You are gonna have to call up your local shop and ask, or go there and bring a pic.

He is using spacers that are PRESSED onto the set-up he is running. You are not gonna want to do this if you are trying to save $. Skule adapters get bolted to the hub, then the adapter has its own set of studs that the wheel is bolted to. Go look at the pics on their site. Or if you want look at pics on my site. It is all explained either place.

no prob man. I was a noob at one point too, and I am still a noobie when it comes to cetrain things. I just know enough about this kinda thing cuz I am running 2" adapters on all 4 forners.

With a few months on this site and you will know everything you have ever wanted to know.
