15mm spacers with winter tires?

silvrevo · 12-04-2007, 01:33 PM

I know this might sound trite , but you never know.

Are there any bad effects of using 15mm spacers with winter tires?

The front and rear tracks will be offset.

I just like the looks of the 15mm spacers in the back. Plus they are on the hub pretty well......lolol. So I just left them on.

17" Beryen mesh wheels with Hankook Ice bear 225/40 all around.

Kinda looking forward to trying these wheels out in the snow.

First time in 20 years I have driven rwd in the winter.

BTW...... I have been changing out the stock wheels/tires in my garage back and forth from winter to stock with a simple Al. roller jack.

I got it down to 30 mins. on and off, and torqued to 90ft.lbs.

Not too shabby huh.

I have 15mm Rogue Engineering Wheel spacers on the back to push my winter rims out a bit. Strictly for appearance sake. I have not noticed any issues.

I'm using RE 15mm rear spacer on my OEM wheels with Hankook 225-45-17. No problems.

Same here but with only 12mm. Stock 162s and 235/40 snows. Havent had any issues, except it looks better from the rear profile.

We sell H&R, and we can get Rogue too, but as long as they are brand named, they should be all fairly the same.

I personally run 20mm H&R spacers with extended (90mm) studs on my car. Zero problems, zero vibrations, definately a great investment/purchase.

Do not go with a no-name brand spacer, and nothing bigger than a 20-25mm spacer. You can, but I wouldn't recommend it.

You can purchase both H&R spacers and extended studs or lug bolts on our site.

Let me know if you have any other questions or need help finding the products.

thanks.
