Default Any risks running spacers?

Just wondering if there are any risks running spacers that I should be concern with. I will want to eventually track with them. Don't want me wheels to fly off! haha.

should be no problem as long as the spacers aren't too thick. I have 5mm spacers on the rears without any problem but anything bigger extended stud is recommended.

I'm running 20mm and 25mm spacers and I have done one track day and 1 auto x event. No problems what so ever. As long as they're torqued properly you will be A-OK!

Thanks for the comments...I am still a little insecure, so I might google the risks involved w/ spacers. I plan on running extended studs 25mm...either Ichina or H&Rs.

depends on what spacers you run.

if your going anything with a +15 or more, buy the ones with studs. anything under a +15 then buy extended studs and have fun.

all depends on torque specs and how you drive your car, but you should be fine.


look into POWERED BY MAX
