Wheel spacers????

[wepsbee]

Do wheel spacers really do anything. I understand that they will give a wider stance thus helping in the corners but are spacers in the 10 to 15 mm width really worth it??

I use 10mm (~1/4") spacers on the front to get room between my coil-overs and 245 tires. This gives me ~ 3/8" space otherwise with about 1/8" the tire deflection would cause rubbing. YMMV.

Only use them for clearance issues,they are a pain in the ---.Better yet, get the correct offset wheels.Happy

Between wide coilovers, wide tires and wide wheels I need honkin' spacers.

On an Escort GTin ITA? No.

Sorry, but what I'm trying to say in the rudest way possible is that it's a small increment. When you're at the 9/10ths prep and driving level, yes, it'll help. If you're not there - it won't be noticeable.

Sadly, some of us can't buy rims with the desired offset...
