I am looking for advise on the size and types of wheel spacers that people feel comfortable to use.
I have alot of space to fill on my race car and I was wondering if I should keep the same track width on the front and rear for autocross and or for racing??? It seems that the same track width would have certain advantages, yet the differing widths would help in other ways..... Also, what are your spacers made out of? Are they solid or individual washer type spacers? Do you get them balanced? And last of all, where can I get 4 lug spacers up to 2" thick without having to go custom??? Rich |

ok,
I have long studs already pressed in. The SCCA regulation seems to be 7" wide wheels.. Got those panasports with cantilevered racing slicks so they end up being 12 inches wide total... Now I am about 2 inches shy of what would look ok in these wheel wells. Right now it looks retarded. but so do I . I will take some pics, I still owe you a pic of my front end (Andy) I also would like to hear the racing opinions of track width front versus rear....I can very easily have a much wider rear end than front...does that make it right??? Autocross this year, possibly some track events once I trust the car...brakes, steering etc... Rich |
