lowering this swamp beast soon an looking to get the 1.25inch wheel spacers with studs. really looking for some pics to see how they look on the car (f-body)

 

 

i used 1.25" wheel adapters, I HIGHLY suggest doing the same, and staying away from spacers

 

that looks good, i was sketchy about it looking like a amigo's car lol. an yea i ment adapters. where did u get yours an are the lud studs good quality. id be pissed if it broke, i had a buddy that broke a couple studs on his. car look good BTW

 

thanks man, lol yea i was too until i saw some pics of my buddies car running them

i actually got mine off a friend of mine who sold his camaro, they are like brand spankin new

and yea spacers will def. break studs, had a friend get into a accident when he lost his wheel bc he was running spacers and broke all his studs lol

 

concider them mine. let me know asap when u can ship them. My zip is 28081 concord nc

 

Sounds good bud, ill hit you with a pm when I get home, I may pull then early and send them your way

 

Here are the adapters om mine

 

They have plenty of people here using 1" on here. They say "no issues" so far.
Also, for security of mind you could run aftermarket studs and loctite.

 

wats the torque specs on a set of adpters?

 

since they are aluminum i believe they are the same as the wheels...

someone correct me if im wrong of course

 

Does the fender-well rub when the suspension compresses? Is your car lowered?

 

^^^^^^ I haven't had any fendor rub. Running 10.5 x 18 wheels with a 305 tire.......stock SLP springs and Biltien shocks.

 

Where are you guys getting quality adapters?

 

i got 1" wheel SPACER's not adapter's. screw adapters.

have not had 1 issue with them....they are known to be top quality spacer's alot of us are running them.

you might have to cut the stock lugs ....i did






goggle them

 

Hmmmm... I'm going to have to look these up!

 

yea, those are technically adapters, not spacers, even though the box says spacers lol

and hes buying my set off of me (later this week as i got new wheels already), there will be no need to cut his oem studs

 

I think they are the same if you ask me.....and these are rated about the best. If you go with a 1.25 or 1.50 spacer/adapter then you would not have to grind the oem studs down....OR depending on what wheel you have you would not have to grind the OEM studs down a tad.
With my ws6 speedlines I had to grind the nubs down just a tad cause they would not align up with the holes on the backside of the wheel. they just barley missed them.

and with the HR's you torque the spacer down just like normal...and the studs are nOT going t break off...they are just as strong as the OEM studs...

I have taken my wheels off to clean them and checked the torque of the spacers and they have not budged.

for $65 i bet your are some generic spacers from ebay....my guess

 

you need to be most specific here

spacers and adapters are not the same

wheel spacers



wheel adapters



studs break with spacers, not adapters

and mine are top notch, i bought them off a buddy for 65, he paid alot more for them

i just wanted to get what i spent back out of them

 

well no wonder studs break with spacers or bolts pull off the threads......if you put a 1.25 spacer on an OEM stud....your taking most of the threads away from the stud for the wheel to torque down on.
I wouldnt use Technically called spacers either.
