5mm front spacers...any good?

powertrip · 04-12-2010, 12:48 AM

Have any of you had any success running 5mm spacers? I've heard that they cause vibrations in the steering wheel due to the fact that they're not hubcentric. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone?

I run them the in rear for my winter setup. They are not hubcentric however they are narrow enough to still have the hub centric portion of the rotor mate with the wheel.

I had vibrations, but I had a slight balancing problem before and it just amplified it.

Now my front rotors are warped so when I add spacers it also magnifies the effect.

If you have no current wheel shimmy problems then use them with confidence, just make sure when you install it you are precise as they are not hubcentric.
