Hi guys: I'm working on my trailing arms. Won't be long till it is time to reassemble. I tried the search, gave up and decided to ask directly. I have new hubs, 5x130. My rear flares are GT flares that I am adding 2" in width to each one in the rear. I would really appreciate your opinions on spacers. I need to get lugs on these hubs before I install them. Which spacer in your experience is safer. Long lugs or short lugs bolted to the spacer.
Gentleman, what say you? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I borrowed the base picture then added my junk to it. Carving, some autocross and I hope a track day now and then. Thanks  |
