I cant 3 wheel :/ I FAIL!

 

Not sure how similar the HHR fenders sit compared with the cobalt, but I am also running a 7.5" wide wheel and they are sitting flush at 29mm offset.

 

You know I'm not sure either about the fenders. My 42mm offset Drag's sit pretty close...but I know the 5mm spacer is not much at all.

 

7.5 wide and +42mm offset is like the stock SS wheels that come on them.

 

Exactly...so would a 5mm spacer even be worth the $40 and time or should I look at changing my hubs out? I think I read somewhere that a 5mm spacer is the largest you could go with without changing the hubs out or installing longer bolts.

 

dont mind the devil cat.

size 11 shoe.

 

devil cat

 

I love nice new shiny wheels

 

Just get some cheap spacers for like $10 haha, its a little noticeable but not much

 

hey man, unfortunately you can barely tell. i tried it not too long ago.

7.5" wide wheel with 42mm offset is the stock setup. largest spacer you can go with before installing longer studs is 8mm, iirc. i'll double check on it, but you're suppose to be able to get 7 full turns on the lugnuts for safety. you don't have to change out the hubs, these guys are only doing it to give them a better wheel selection.

 

5mm

 

^ This. Stop telling people 8mm, Unless you enjoy seeing people have their wheels fly off.

 

i do actually. as much as i enjoy seeing people ruin their suspension & ride quality just to "look" cool.

 

It's not your car, who cares... and my car rides better "Slammed" then it did on lowering springs.

 

exactly. it's not my car, so WHO cares? obviously you're caring right now, so settle down and don't get all butthurt.

i know from experience that you can go with an 8mm spacer and still get the proper amount of lugnut turns, i don't recommend it at all tho. heck, i don't recommend the use of spacers or adaptors in general, but i understand that you crazy kids now-a-days need them to get the "stance" you're going for. have fun with it, YOLO homie!

 

if you dont recommend it why would you even say 8mm let alone post in here haha.

 

he asked what was the largest spacer that could be used before having to swap in longer studs. am i wrong for giving him an answer?

 

300mm spacer or GTFO

 

I'll just keep it as is...I was just farting around with the idea. I'll just invest my time into pulling myself instead...more bang for the buck...lol

 

giving him the wrong answer, yes

 

provide proof that i'm wrong. my proof is experience, not what someone posted on THIS forum. so i'm open to be corrected for what i've tried personally.

 

so youve personally tried even though a couple posts you said you dont recommend the use of spacers, your a confusing guy haha.

 

i was a different guy many years ago my friend. but anywho, even tho i don't recommend them, i do understand why they're used and just hope y'all are being safe with these crazy setups. proper torque, fitting, etc.

with that said & done............. more pics, now!!!!!

 

understandable haha. il probably be taking more pics sunday.
