    Wheel Spacer ?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Is anyone out there running 15mm spacers? I ask because I just got 18x9.5" BBS CHs and with the meaty tires they rub on the control arm so I decided instead of getting new tires I'll just go the spacer route. My concern is spacers could cause stud failure and I'd rather not have my wheel pass me while I'm on the highway. Thanks in advance.

    25mm spacers for months now no issues. As long as you get the correct lugs there will be no issues.

    Also make sure you get hub-centric spacers.

    Where did you get your spacers? I'm thinking about going with the ECS kit. They say the bolts are made to work with OEM wheels, does anyone know if they will work with BBS CHs?
