    Wheel spacers

    I was wondering, did anyone put the wheel spacers on 3gens? I know its possible, and i wanted to put 5mm spacers, so the car would look sick...But i was just wondering will it affect worse handling, falling the wheel off, or something like thant?

    Basically your studs are a certain length to ensure that your wheels are on properly. Spacers are great for show, but I would never run on them. The hub is often what supports the wheel and with a spacer, the weight of the car is then transfered to the lugs. With fewer threads holding the wheels on, your chances for a wheel coming off are greater. I would try to find a wheel that has the offset you want and stay away from spacers. Many shops too, will not mess with your wheels if you are running spacers, due to the liablity involved.

    Just my .02.....
