Wheel Spacers

[SilveRT8]

On my OEM wheels in used IPSCO 3/8 in the front and 5/16 in the rear. Perfect.

Same here but since I installed the lower spring caps, I had to remove the rear spacers as it would rub on the drivers side

These "don't use spacers" at the track fairy tales are getting old.

Don't use lug-centric spacers at the track....

Any update on this? Was considering using some smaller spacers to even out the rim face to the fender edge.
I'll be using lowering caps also. Stock rims and tires.

Donk, what size are you thibking about? I think 10-12 mm is safe, especially on the TA alignment. I was thinking of doing some measurements over thanksiving. I want to do the same thing but I wont be using lowering caps on the stock setup unless I remove my front awro bits.

Yeah it's the wheel gap I'm not a fan of. Plus not really a fan of the R888 fit. So if the car is lowered a bit I should be ok with the 3/8" up front no matter what but the rears need very little to go flush

Possibly a stupid question but here goes. The front wheels are tucked in relative to the rear on the ACR and I'd like to install the 3/8" spacers on the front to match. Do I need new lug nuts or are they long enough that this isn't an issue?

[sadil]

Honestly, I tried installing 3/8 in the rear and I just wasn't getting many threads to engage. It was only engaging the threads in the conical portion of the nut. So I decided to go with studs.

Bigmac, your definitely onto the right track. The fronts need to be pushed out, but the rears seem close to where they should be. I would try some ET lugs first but then be prepared to do studs if not enough engagement. Keep us posted how this goes because several of us are going to be heading down this road when we get our ACR's.

Hey, from what it seems, I haven't removed the wheel to look at the lug length, I think a new wheel hub with longer lengths is required no? The front wheels could definitely be moved out towards the fenders.

It’s been 2 years on this topic now... any new products or updates??

I’m on Stock wheels/tires with lowering caps. Can’t stand how far the front wheels are tucked in the wheel well. What size adapter is everyone running, and what lugnuts? Thanks in advance

Spacers are readily available and sources are mentioned above.

Does anyone have pictures with their spacers and the sizes?

Do all stock viper wheels have the same offset?

[Polo708]

Thoughts on the spacer/adapters?? Seems the easiest route but haven’t seen anyone talking about them

I have hubcentric spacers on my car. I believe 25mm up front and 15mm in back. It will rub a bit in back with lowering caps....unless you have TA alignment specs.

Are they that type of spacer I posted a pic of? Or just the plate spacers? I hear so many different stories... I’m just not looking forward to swapping out the studs for longer studs and deeper lugs

If you add longer studs, you don't need deeper lugs, just run open ended lug nuts.

If you want to keep the stock length studs, use the extended shouldered lug nuts. I ran 3/8 spacers on the rear with the extended lugs and ended up cold welding the nut to the stud when the shoulder snapped off. Had a hell of a time getting the spacer off with that shoulder stuck on the stud. In the end I went longer studs all around.

If you read the threads. All the answers are here for what you need and what works. Just search.

[Polo708]

I’ve been searching with no answer... hence me asking

Hub centric....just like you posted.

Never tried spacers on stock wheels, does the fender gap look larger?
