Default track wheels + spacers + s-tech (pics)

Here we go, since there seems to be alot of Qs on putting spacers on...heres my pics, 15mm fronts, 25mm rears.

Front spacer...


Rear Spacer...


Rear angle view...


Front angle view...


I'm very happy with the setup, it looks better, handling seems the same (to me anyway).

Hope that helps all...

there arent any real cons to it. alot of the corporate drift cars use them for drifting, so if they take that kind of abuse.... i dont see any real problems... its really no different than getting a low offset wheel

yeah a 5mm spacer would push the wheel out to where a 24 offset would be. i know that there are people running far more offset than that... josh (anotheraznguy) has single digit offset on his AME wheels and is going even more to the extreme with his next setup.

Hmm, they look very agressive from those angles; not bad. Problem I have with 25mm spacers on the rear with stock size tires is that from a straight behind shot (got one of those?), the wheels look like they are spread too wide.

I have an '03 Track and have a two-stage goal for my wheels.

Stage 1: 15mm spacers rear, 10mm front. This brings them to within 1mm of the Nismo LMGT4 wheels' offset, which is the look I am after.

Stage 2: (when I need new tires and have more cash...) move the rear wheels up front with the 10mm spacer (will just stick out another 3mm), put 245/40-18s on them, have the front wheels widened to 9.5 or 10", put them out back with 275/40-18s and 20mm spacers. I'll essentially have Nismo rims at a tiny fraction of the cost.
