Default Wheel Spacers

Hi,

I am interested in adding wheel spacers to the LC stock wheels

Just wondering if anyone else here has done it before, and what is the size they chose

Thanks

Hey,

Funny, I just bought a set of wheel spacers - the measurements you should be looking for are:

5x120 bolt pattern and 60.1mm centerbore

As for the spacing measurements, I'm not so sure, as it depends on how much you'd want to push out your wheels. I ended up getting mine for aftermarket wheels, so it wouldn't be the same as for the OEM's.

I don't understand why one would want to decrease the car's overall balance/performance that the engineers worked on for thousands of hours to get it ''just right''.

Yes,

You can do some H&R spacers. We have them in stock.

I added 20mm spacers to all four corners. Pushed the wheels out perfectly and the ride doesn't suffer at all. I can't tell the difference between spacers or stock. The engineers did an awesome job on these cars but I hated how sunken in the wheels appeared.

I’m looking to do the same to mine until I find some custom wheels I really like.

Did you add longer bolts for the 20mm spacers? Or are they wheel adapters?

I added some custom 10mm spacers that allow for deeper lug nuts so I didn't really lose any threads. I am having some custom forged wheels made with a more aggressive offset but they won't be ready for a couple of months. Excuse the poor photoshop but the wheels will look like this.... a more simple five spoke design with a titanium brushed finish:

Most of us aren't tracking our vehicles and are concerned about aesthetics as well. I wouldn't go with spacers and I would just get wheels with a more aggressive offset, but I personally feel the OEM wheels are way too sunken in. Which is surprising since the rest of the car looks so fantastic. Personal preference.

I used the spacers that are hub centric with its own studs attached. They bolt onto the wheel and the wheel bolts onto the spacer.

I'm not sure on the price on the size you're looking for, but I got 3mm and 5mm spacers and they cost $40/pair.
