joker, I sent you a p.m about spacers.

 

I wish I ran 30mm in the back too I thought 25mm was gonna be pushing it

 

Same here. I wish I had 30mm in the back, but I heard it was pushing it being pushed out to far and making the rear weak. I am happy though with the 25mm all around. JOKER's recommendation!

 

what do you mean

rear weak?

do you think getting 30mm for the rear is not smart?

 

I am in no way an expert, but I would assume that the further out that you push the wheels from the hub, that the more strain you are putting on the stock studs making the stability and support weaker.

Am I correct in assuming this, or am I off and if I am please let the flaming begin.

 

sooooooooo what about wider rims with negative offset and 6 inch lips?


Same ****.

30 is not that bad.

 

Is it, 30 is not that bad, but not that good? Or You are fine with going with a 30mm spacer?

 

bump.. so what's the final word?

 

DarkG,

I just got back in town. If your still interested, let me know. I will take photos of the wheels were there is curb rash, and will let the go with the tires.

 

Looks good, have you guys looked into getting longer studs? That would help with your problem of fear of strain on other components. Because when using spacers it leaves the original nut with less surface to mount to a stud. I would highly look into this.

 

when you use spacers as thick as 25mm they have studs built into them

So no longer studs are required

 

Joker, can you reply to my question quoted above?

 

I'm fine going with 30

I wish I would have done that instead of 25.

it's not like you putting the wheel 2 feet out.

It's just 30mm

It's still less then you get with any rim with a lip.

 

It appears that we've got at least one person with 30mm in the rear so that's the place to get opinions. Granted, the spacers make you feel a little less safe the wider they get and there are plenty of threads lambasting spacers as a disaster waiting to happen... Who's right? Beats me
