17x10.5s with a spacer??

[AaronK]

Anyone know if you can run the 10.5 replicas with a 1" spacer? I'm sure I'd have to roll the fenders. But I know Nittos run a little narrow. Would it would with MTs or BFGs??

Trust me, you don't need to nor would you want to run a 1" spacer with a 10.5" wheel. 3/8" spacers are more than enough for the job.

absolutely 3/8"

I have zero spacer for the past 3 years.

Disagree completely! I've been running a 1" hubcentric spacer for years with my 10.5 wheels and it is perfect. Spacer fear is a myth. I've had my car on the track, dyno, long road trips and aggressive street driving with no problems whatsoever! The 1" spacer gives your car a great look moving the outer edge of your tires closer to the edge of the fenderwell without going outside it.

I'm running a spacer too (3/8" hub-centric), I didn't tell the OP to be fearful of running them. IMO I just think a 1" spacer would look ridiculous as it would be pushing a 10.5" rep. wheel out too far. :shrug:



BigBeez03 post up some pics.

The reason I ask is because I just got some 10.5s with BFGs on them and they wont even bolt down all the way because the tire is hitting the IRS bracket. I'm sure when it sits on the ground it might clear it though.

Either way, I'm thinking about running the 325/40/17s and I'm sure those will rub. I'm just hoping that they wont stick out too far and hit the outer fender even if it's rolled.

Also found a really good deal on some hub-centric 1" spacers.

I don't have access to my pics right now, on lunch at work. Anyhoo, I'm not sure you could tell the diff with the naked eye between a 3/8 and 1" spacer? I wouldn't put anything on my car that looked tacky, trust me the wheels don't stick out past the fenderwell. Actually they could still come out probably another inch before being flush with the fender.

I'm not sure about 325 size tires but post up some pics if you get them. I'll be needing new rear tires next summer and I may just go with BFG 315s after my Nittos get worn, i've heard the BFGs are wider than the Nittos of the same size.

Just for a comparison this is a 10" wheel with a 3/8 inch spacer with 295's

 

[TRQJUNKIE]

10.5 replicas with 3/4in spacers and 315 nittos :rockon:

 

[AaronK]

Thanks for the pics guys.

BigBeez, are your fenders rolled? Do the tires hit the fenders? Is it lowered?

Anyone running spacers with a another 315 (or wider) than Nittos? These BFGs are significantly wider than the Nittos I used to run.

315 GS-D3's 3/8" spacer.

very noob question but what does rolled fenders mean?

Same here (my fenders are rolled).

Feel above your tires underneath your fenders and you will feel the medal that sticks down or straight out rather than being tucked up underneath. If you hit a dip too fast that untucked medal could cut into your tire tread

Do either of you have your fenders rolled?
