rec'd spacer size for track wheels?
I know that a lot of threads have started about spacers (both here and in the wheel's section)...I'm wondering what's the best offset to have for autoX and track events?
My track wheels are: 17X9 +35mm offset Enkei RPO2J w/ toyo RA-1s. F: 255/40 R: 275/40 I'm thinking of going with a 10mm spacer...does this sound right? I'm not doing this for looks, it's purely for handling. Priorities: 1) AutoX 2) Track ...these will never see the street, but I'd like to get something that will help in both autoX and track events. thanks!! |
With these sizes and offset, you don't need spacers. the 270/40 will fit in the rear.
|
You don't need spacers for those wheels, they will fit with margins.
You could go up to a 10mm in the front and 20mm in the rear without rubbing issues(and that's conservative). Personally, if these are track wheels, I'd leave it like this, I heard a lot of bad comments by people who used aggressive spacers on the track. For autocross, people seem to love spacers... it's up to you. |
I had to get 15mm spacers to clear my Track model Brembo's.
I drive the spacers on the street, and can't say I've noticed much difference in 'normal' street handling. When pushed, the car does seem to turn-in slightly better than before and has at little more kickback thru the steering wheel over bumps. BTW, I only A/X. |
Cwalker, you run the 15mm spacers front and rear?
|
Yeah, running them on all 4.
The rear Brembo's have plenty of clearance without the spacers, but I didn't want to space the fronts and not the rears. |
