hey guys, Does anyone know if there are 1mm spacers made? and if so please spoon feed me a link , ill also take links of where to buy 2mm.. My wheels spin over the front calipers but are barely catching the brembo caliper and scraping paint off not sure if 1mm would do it but id like to try that before 2 if possible because the wheels are poked out pretty far as is. So basically where can i buy the smallest spacers made, and since they are so small i think universal ones would be fine also.



thanks in advance

 

just found these..what do u think? should do the trick for me and free up a little space..still would like to try 1mm first though..anyone 1mm exist?

2mm or 3mm are the smallest spacers I'm aware of. I don't think anyone makes a 1mm spacer, but I could be wrong.

 

thanks for the reply..ya ive only came across the 2mm ones in the link i posted above..havent even found any other 2mm ones anywhere..if u come across 1mm or even any other 2mm ones to compare lemme know..thanks

the ones in the link will work fine though right? in case i dont come across any others.

 

just ordered the 2mm ones in the link above so hopefully they work out ok

 

quick thought....id rather not run the spacer though cause like i said i really dont wanna poke the wheel out anymore than it is..what are thoughts on taking a dremel or some type of grinding tool and just taking off a little behind each spoke on the wheels to give a little more clearance without poking the wheel out anymore? would that cause any issue to the wheel balancing or anything...im talking 1mm on the back of each spoke on the front wheels in the spots it is rubbing.


the wheels are volk gt-v 19x9.5 front +15 and 19x10.5 back +24..the back sits perfect and fits fine on the brembos but the fronts are pretty aggressive where i dont want them out anymore than they are really but they slightly are rubbing the calipers, i really thought they were gonna clear with no problem but i guess not.

 

U aren't gonna notice a 2 mm difference.. don't grind the wheel and risk some damage or rigidity..

 

i feel like i will see the difference though with 2mm ..maybe not i guess...i just feel like the wheels are a more aggressive offset than i realized they were gonna be already and really dont want anymore poke but then i think how minimal 2mm really is..

 

they were supposed to fit the brembos but they arent, i havent driven it just spun it with my hand and it does spin but did scrape the caliper slightly so i stopped before messing it up more...i may just be putting them back up for sale..idk..gonna throw the spacer on and see how i like it after it gets dropped..

 

those thin spacers have been known to sheer lugs off over time, not a good idea

 

What wheels are they?? Specs??

 

volk GT-V (the ones u keep commenting on, lol)

19x9.5 front offset +15
19x10.5 back offset +24

 

Na the +15 do not clear.. u need a small spacer.. when I sold my gt-v I had the same offsets and the guy who bought them had brembos.. he put a 5mm in front and it cleared fine..

 

In that case don't get spacers and just sell them!! U know u will have a buyer!! Haha

 

i bought them used on my350z.com..they have a little curb rash here and there nothing too bad, they shined up pretty nice actually. and as we discussed yesterday a spot about 4 inches long on the outside of the lip on 1 front wheel where i sanded thru the clear..so that wheel to be fixed needs to be polished and cleared..i buffed it to blend it the best i could in that spot and cleared it for now..on the car it isnt very noticable..id sell them for what i have into them but dont want to deal with shipping them, i already got rid of the boxes and stuff..im upstate ny 13357. if u ever head this way stop by and check em out id prolly let em go and just move on to something else...they will be sitting in the garage all winter. u can see the spot where the clear got a little messed up in the pic of the wheel on its own on the outside of the lip
