Wheel spacers!

[Narcosynthesis]

Has anyone installed these yet with AFS 10.5 replicas and Goodyear GS-D3 315's yet and did you have to shave the IRS bolt (and if so how much??)

If you can wait untill I get home and get my 315s out of storage, I will let you know. I had some IRS bolts shaved from a local machine shop for me already. I will install the bolt and try to get the wheel on before I put the LFP spacers on to see if it fits.

It will be another week or so before I do it. :rockon:

I put them on my car last tuesday, but I had to hold off on the AFS 10.5s so they are currently on my stock wheels. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, as obviously they arn't an issue on the 17x9's.

Just installed them last night with a pair of AFS 10.5s and 315 BFG drag radials. Cleared the IRS bolt on the passenger side, but my driver's side bolt hit on full suspension extension. On the ground it didn't touch. I'm going to grind down the bolt though to be safe.

Cool, thanks. I think the BFG's are about the same width as the Goodyears....do you have any pics of your car with the spacers on????

...since hubcentric ones fit into the hub a little bit, will they still make the wheel stick out an extra 15mm?

Yes. A 15mm flat spacer and a 15mm hubcentric spacer will move the wheel out the same 15mm distance.

If your car is not lowered, 3/8" spacers should work with 315 GS-D3s and AFS 10.5" wheels. You'll still likely need to machine about 1/4" off the tops of both IRS bolt heads or they will hit the sidewall of the tire when the rear suspension is unloaded. Several people are running this combination.

I just switched to AFS 17 x 10.5's on the rear with Nitto 315 drag radials. I previously did the Steeda subframe bushings which come with the button head bolts. The tires were still really close so installed 1/8" spacers. Problem solved.

Sorry, no pics as I'm out of town right now.

How do you "grind" down the bolt?

Will the LFP hucentric space clear 18x10.5s and 315s?

i am gettin 17x10.5's on my cobra aswell as 315 bfg drag radials. i heard that the bfg's are alittle wider than most dr's. exactly what will I need to fit these things?price? not to jack ur thread, just curious.

17 x 10.5 " with 315 BFG's DR with 3/8" hubcentric spacer and extended reach lugs worked fine on the passenger side on mine, driver's side sidewall rested on the IRS bolt at full travel with the same setup. Ground the bolt a bit.. but eventually...just got Nitto's 315/35 x 17 and no clearance issues

 

[racebronco2]

i also have the lfp 3/8 hubcentric spacer with the extended reach lugs ...

 

[wjgeorge7@yahoo]

I have a similiar set up:

17 x 10.5 " with 315 BFG's DR

On a 2001 Cobra.

I'd rather not trim the IRS bolt so I'm I'm thinking 1" spacers.
