wheel spacers+HP+ 2in drop how do they mix?

[Blackzee28]

So I'mswapping wheels with another member on here, and he's using a 1.25in spacer that bolts to the hub then you bolt the rims to the spacer, my question is how do the studs and spacers hold up to HP? I've broken a few studs on high HP cars before and it isnt fun, also his rims are 19in for the rear and 18in up front, how will my car like theseseeing as how I've lowered it 2in with the eibach sportline kit?

Does anyone have a similar setup and can share pics or strories?

I'm not a fan of spacers by themselves, so I wouldn't be eager to mix them with any amount of HP improvements. That said though, I know guys have run them without any problems. So I guess it can be done. Just not something I would prefer to do.

At some point the 19" wheels are going to rub, you'll probably want to roll the wheel lip.

That's what I thought, really dont want to lose a wheel doing a burnout or taking a corner sideways, . I do t mind having to roll the lips I was going to have to do that with the 17in 10 spokes that are on it now,

i run them in the front to clear my brakes, never had an issue with them. that being said mine are only 15mm and i've never ran one that big before.

third gens had spacers in back if you had 16" wheels from what I have seen

[92conv]

My TTA has 16" wheels and no spacers. The offset of the wheels are different from front to back, but there's no spacers. I'm pretty confident every GTA was the same way. My '86 IROC never had spacers either.

Does your car ever understeer autoxing? Understeer induced wheel hop is what would scare me, otherwise its probably not likely to be a problem.

yea it would get some understeer, but i don't ever remember it getting much hopping but it is certainly possible i would think. i'm running ARP studs all the way around, and even then i wouldn't run them if i didn't need them.

I have spacers on my car (602/540)... but they are 1/2" slip ons, with longer wheel studs. I think thats the stronger/safer way to go. On my old 95 (stock power) I ran 1.5" spacers on the rear to allow the installation of the c6 wheels.

[Blackzee28]

My thing is, these are going on the rear. And I like to slide around a bit and take corners hard. Launch hard, you know typical fbody owner things, I just don't want to lose a wheel and wind up regretting my choose but iI do like the way these wheels look on a lowered fbody, that may have just sold me on them Ben lol
