JonB at Parts Rack (http://www.viperpartsrack.com/) is an advertising vendor here and has those in many different sizes. Give him a call.

[Jack B]

I have a set for sale. They are 1" for use on the rears.

I'd say only have them on the rears , what size looks best?

Got any pics with them installed?

Make sure you buy hub-centric spacers. Jon B claims his spacers are hub-centric but they are not...they are lug-centric. With lug-centric spacers, the car weight and force is put on the lugs not on the hub as it is suppose to be. I put a set of Jon Bs on my car and they vibrated. I took the car to a race prep shop to investigate and they advised me to remove them from the car....which I did.

The spacers I have from JonB are hub-centric. It does not take a rocket engineer to figure this out when you install those.

I've purchased several items from Jon B, and will continue to business with him as long as I own a Viper... he's great! However, the type of 3/8" spacers that I purchased from him are only hub-centric to the wheel hub assembly, not the wheel. So I picked some others up from another place. It's been a while, so maybe Jon is now stocking different types of spacers.

How much did you pay for these? Thanks

Has anyone else been waiting on spacers with Motorsport-Tech? I placed an order more than 3 weeks ago and have not heard anything. I just left a phone message today, so we'll see.

Update 7/21/17: My fault, I found an email from them a few days back indicating that they needed a few more days to get my spacers out the door. I can understand that things take time to fabricate, so for now these guys are still on my "nice" list.

[BJG32]

FyI...I have lowering caps. 20mm front and 15mm in back. No rub.

20 mm in rear rubs.

[ssjcreeper]

Sounds exactly like my experience last year when I tried to order spacers from Motorsport-Tech. I had two orders. Waited, and waited. No responses to emails or voice mails. After more than a month went by I filed a dispute with PayPal. The next day Motorsport-Tech sent a notification that my order shipped. Two weeks later I got my first order. Two more weeks went by and despite more attempts to contact them... nothing on my second order. I filed a second PayPal dispute and at least got my money back on the second order.

BUYER BEWARE!

Eeesh! This is not sounding good.

I have an extra set of hub centric 20 mm i'll sell from motorsport. They rubbed in the rear, but perfect for fronts. I replaced with 15mm so these 20mm are looking for a new home. 10 miles of use... pm me.

[v10tt]

BJG32, you got pics. those are some serious thick spacers.
I got 3/8" front or 9.5 mm, and 5/16" rear or 7.93 mm (from Parts Rack), and thought they were perfect. lowered on caps and no rubbing.

[donk_316]

I'm running Motorsports hubcentric 3/8" all the way around. No issues. I even forget they were there. Lowering caps go on sometime this year. Whenever I can find the time to do it.

Paid 65 each for spacers above. Will sell $100 shipped.

My car is at AC Performance presently so i cant get other pics, but here are some pics of the front installed only which is where youd want to install these 20mm

Motorsport tech, custom sizes;

Front: .450"
Rear: .375"

Rears are perfectly flush, fronts probably need almost a 1" spacer to get flush but I didn't want a bolt on adapter, and half an inch is as comfortable as I will go with a slip on and ET nuts.

Yep, 20mm got me perfectly flush up front.

[imzoomintoo]

Is this with lowering caps as well or just spacers? Looks great

With lowering caps.

I just ordered 15mm for rear and 20mm for front (Design 2). Should I install longer wheel studs or will ET style lug nuts be enough to grab the threads?29010

[texasram]

Does everyone use factory torque specs when reinstalling the lugs?

20mm may be a bit much for the standard studs. That is nearly .80". I went .450" and had plenty of turns with the lug nut. I want to say there were 11 turns. Don't hold me to it, but I believe the standard minimum is 7 turns that you want to be sure you have. Google is your friend on something like this.

Try the 20mm spacers and see if there are enough turns. If not, then you'll need longer studs.

Frankly, I think I could have gone more. So I'm interested in hearing what you discover.

[sadil]

0.590" for the rear is a lot. I'm running .420 and wouldn't go more than that with SWII. I run 0.500 on the front. I use longer studs all around.

[ZRJuliano]

Thanks everyone for your input! Finally got my new studs in. I'll be installing them tonight along with the spacers and I'll take some pictures.

[OTHER SNAKE OWNER]

What is the thickest front and rear hub centric spacers sizes one can run to get the wheels as fender flush as possible and still use the factory studs? I'd prefer a minimum of 12 turns on the lugnuts when torqued to spec (from a quick search, spec is 107 ft-lbs? I usually torque my wheels on my Terminator to 90/95 ft-lbs. Input here appreciated. Mostly "spirited" street driving at the moment). I also understand to keep factory studs, the wheels may not end up being completely fender flush

I have the titanium open end lugnuts that DSE sells. I assume these will work fine?

[TheMadMachinist]

I just installed a set of IPS .420 wheel spacers along with there extended lugs nuts on the front of my 2013 GT. .420 wide was the thinest spacer that was still hub and wheel centric. I measured the front and rear track "outside edge to outside edge of the tires" and stock rear is a full 1' inch wider. So these got me the look I was looking for and is about the widest without having to change out the wheel studs. My car has lowering cap installed. The extended lug nuts spun on about 9 1/2 turns and that is about .450 with a 20 pitch thread. The fit and finish of both products was top notch and I know a little about that kind of stuff and at a price point that I don't think I could match at my own shop.30126301243012330125

[Scott_in_fl]

Looks good. I did about the same amount. Problem is that the front could actually use a little more, but then we would have to install longer lug bolts, which I was not inclined to do at the time. I may eventually get around to it though.

[Vipes]

I ruined a set of tires from rubbing after going agressive with the offset, never again. I’ve grown to really like the sunk in OEM look after 15 years of fender rub.

[omid_yusuf]

i’m getting 20 mm spacers .. the spacers comes with studs and nuts . so do you thinks the oem studs will touch the wheel from inside and i need to cut the oem studs to make them shorter ?

[USAFPILOT]

Doesn’t the Viper funnel air from the front bumper around the front wheels to help with stability at speed? Wouldn’t pushing your front tires out wider negatively affect that aerodynamic design element?

[omid_yusuf]

did the spacers fit without needing to shave the studs?

[omid_yusuf]

did the spacers fit without needing to shave the original studs?

[sadil]

did the spacers fit without needing to shave the original studs?

Why would you use the original studs if you are getting new ones with the spacers? What kit did you buy?

[omid_yusuf]

[much]

What wheels do you have. Normaly the Wheels have Pockets on the inside . Remove one Wheel to be sure. I have 18mm Spacers all around and did not had to cut the original Stuts but i just have Gen3 10 Spoke wheels.

[sadil]

You didn't buy spacers, you bought adapters. I am not sure why you need an adapter. Usually you would use those if your wheels have a different bolt pattern. What are you trying to do? Run a special set of wheels?
