Wheel Spacer loss of power?
#1
Will Wheel Spacers cause a loss of power?
hey i'm thinking about buying these https://my350z.com/forum/socal-marketplace/340608-fs-2-25mm-spacers-built-in-studs-w-rings.html and was wondering if there would be a noticable loss of power since i'm adding weight to the rear wheels. I have 19' g35 rays rims and would like the rear to fit more flush. Also would the handling get better since rears would have a wider stance? thanks for the help, i searched and didn't find any info on this topic so no need to go nuts and tell me to search.

I do find it interesting that people spend a lot of $$ buying lightweight wheels, and then add weights (spacers) to these expensive wheels. I suppose the way to dismiss this concern is that you add weight to the axle and not the wheel.

davidv is an asshat, all he has to contribute is smart-*** one-liners(look up all his posts)
this is true, although they will still add rotational mass.

Then again maybe you don't know what the definition of "rotational mass" is.
I think you were better off just lurking here.

I just had mine installed. Coming from a guy who's peculiar and **** retentive to the point where I notice every little obscurity...
Didn't notice jack sh*t different with the spacers in terms of power. Handling, on the other hand, does feel improved.
