Hi All,

Does anyone use wheel spacers on their E Body?  If so what width do you use?  Are their any downsides to them?

Thanks for any help you can give.

I prefer wheels with the proper back spacing.  :notsure:

I've put about 120,000 miles on wheel spacers from my Cuda, daily WRX and my old daily Wrangler.

Never a single problem and that Wrangler was ran HARD.

Cuda has a wheel shim on the rear with proper extended studs. WRX and Wrangler used bolt on spacers.

I have 25mm hub centric spacers on the front for probably about 5 years or so. No issues.

The ones I have are custom made by BORA. (Mike's recommendation actually  :bigthumb:)

If the wheels you want don't come in the correct backspacing for you, don't be afraid of using a quality spacer.  :alan2cents:

I'm using 3/4" spacers from Summit Racing on the wife's Challenger to get the 15x10 wheel/ 325/50-15 tire combo centered correctly with the B body rear end.

Definitely needed longer wheel studs.
I check the torque on the lugnuts often and everything is working perfectly.

You must really love your wife to keep checking the torque on the wheels.  :rofl:
