Wheel Spacers & Alignment

[robb15033]

I want to put 1" spacers on rear wheels. These rims have brand new rubber on them and I will be replacing suspension in coming months and will live with these rims for a while.
-Does the wheel spacers on rear only throw off alignment enough to effect tire wear or drive ability?

If they are hubcentric, should not affect alignment. Fronts should be checked.

OK. Planned on it. Do you know which are recommended, Hubcentric brand, H&R, Maximum Motorsports?
Thanks

I use these. I run a 7/8" up front and 1" in back. No vibration.

H&R also make some nice ones.

Looking at both web sites made my head hurt. There are several options. I guess I should keep researching. Some use nuts and some bolts, ect..

Just go with hubcentric. When I bought my car it had these although maybe a different thickness on the rear. The first time I removed the wheels I realized that there was BARELY any thread for the lug nuts to grab so I ditched them.

and there is a reason for that, once you get to a certain width, the stock studs are no longer viable and the good spacers will have a set of studs built into them, I've autocrossed on the Eibach, with the studs and had no issues whatsoever.

The ones I suggested are hubcentric and come with upgraded studs. I like that I only have 5 lugs per wheel to keep torgued. Good luck with whatever you go with.

OK, Makes sense. Thanks for the posted LINKS. I'll look more & choose.

ive had them on the back of my car for 12+ years and no problem at all. Have never had the geometry touched in the rear suspension. I went with the Maximum Motorsports 1" hubcentrics

I just bookmarked their site but they only have 3/4" now, nothing bigger.
