    Wheel spacers? Anyone?

    Well.. I am going from a 17x7 w/ 215/45/17 tires to 18x7.5 w/ 215/40/18.

    my questions is does anyone have experience - good or bad - with wheel spacers, do I even need them?

    any answers would be greatly appreciated!

    Wheel spacers are good if you have no warranty. Some people have wearing problems, some don't. It all depends on the way you drive. I am getting 1/4 spacers to just give my rims a little advantage. if you go 1/2 or 3/4 you might as well just by that tire because it WILL mess up your car.

    from what i understand wheel spacers should not be needed with the correct offset.

    Wheels spacers are good for a show car, but definetly not good for daily drivers, it puts more stress on the front arms, and bolts, it ads more rotational weight, it can shatter and break which can cause a wheel to break off.... Just get a good off set for the wheel
