Can I put wheel spacers between my wheels and hubs??

What is the maximum size that I can stick between my wheels and hub with out any modifications?? I just want my car to sit wider.

Thanx,

Paul

 

You can but it's not recommended. Your rims were designed to the car, (size and offset). If you alter these, you risk the chance of your tire rubbing on your fender, wheel alignment and handling can be affected by altering the rim size or adding spacers.

If you still decide you want to get wheel spacers, get the Hub-Centric, high grade aluminum and you will need longer wheel lug nuts as well.

 

well my rims are not really amde for the S-type.. they are just 5x108 bolt patter 18 inch rims with a 30 or 35mm tires can't remember... so I was only thinking about widening it about 7mm or 5mm.. I mean my local car parts store sells these mm spacers that can go between the hub and rim of cars.

Sooo yeah

lmk

It's your car...and the parts guy will sell you whatever you want....but it doesn't make it right...

If you decided to do it, just check your clearance between fender and tire.

 

Yeah I'm not too concerned about the tire/fender issue, because there is about an inch from my tire to my fender when tire is up into the wheel well.. what I am wondering about is what is the highest mm's of a spacer that I can put on the jag,, that I could use the stock studs for.. i don't want to switch to any other studs.

and also what do you guys tighten your wheel bolts to as far as torque wrench wise??

Thanks,
Paul
