drifting w/ spacers
how many guys out there drift with spacers? I've seen in my drift tengoku mags that a lot of guys run some spacers to make the wheels fit the wide bodies. Anyone in the states run spacers? Any problems found with them?

I run 10mm spacers all around and have no problems. I've heard that any spacer bigger than 15mm should be a bolt-on, in the interest of safety.
www.wheelspacers.com makes very high quality stuff and is to be trusted. Prices are rather steep, but the quality is top-notch. |

yea, i was actually talking about bolt on spacers, sorry for the confusion. Something along the lines of 20-30mm actually is what i was looking at, anyone running anything that big?

Quite a few people are.
old_s13 on zilvia is one, ludex on zilvia is another. ludex ran 25mm spacers for a couple months. Dousan (Aaron) used to run 30mm but now runs 20mm. (I think... that was back in September) 240Stilo is/was running a 25mm spacer. Do a specific search on zilvia. The consensus is that the aforementioned website is THE BEST. |

If possible make sure you have the spacers made hubcentric to the hub and wheel you run, this will limit the stress placed on the studs.
wheelspacers.com rocks, but takes a while and is a bit high $$, and also only allows payment by cod for some reason.... he also will not make anything smaller than a 20mm bolt on type, |

ive got them on the front just to clear the suspension and the brakes.... and also cuz it makes the front look badass. also i wouldnt advise runniing them on the rear only because ive seen first hand where the spacer broke and the rear wheel came flying off, but other than that i dont see a problem with putting them on the front
