    H&R track wheel spacers

    Has anyone put wheel spacers from H&R or any other company on their car. Seems to me that stock 19inch wheels sit too far in from the lip of the fender. This is mostly cosmetic for me but i am wondering if anyone else has done this. H&R makes a 7mm and a 14mm plus larger sizes all the way up to 23mm. I most likely would only do the 7mm but would like to understand if anyone else has done this and the impact on handling, safety ....

    I don't have this installed but i think someone mention it on the forum... do a forum search and you will most likely find a picture or two. From what i remember, the wheel spacer does really make the car looks bettter

    Re: H&R track wheel spacers

    Yes, i found via search after I posted this but it is unclear from the post if they installed 10mm each side, 5mm each side or 15mm in the rear and 5mm in the front. Would be great to get clarification from somebody

    Re: H&R track wheel spacers

    Cool, it looks good, do you know how long the lug nuts need to be to be able to safely cover the extra 10mm. I think I am only going to do 7mm. I have H&R springs and I am worried about them hitting

    Re: H&R track wheel spacers

    Yes looks good Beltar. My H&R spacers are in transit to me now.
    Did you install them or have them done? I'm wondering how difficult this would be to do myself. I'm mechanically inclined but haven't done wheel spacers before. I'm actually concerned about replacing the longer wheel studs that are coming with the spacers...

    Re: H&R track wheel spacers

    I installed H&R spacers on my Carrera S and so far there are no problems. i think they are 1cm spacers..i had them installed on the front and back wheels..i tell you the wheels look so much better with the spacers installed...they fit the car perfectly.
