Wheel Spacers

Post by Vibealicious »

New member here. How is everyone? What a great website!! CHOCK FULL 'O INFO!Well, got my new Abyss '04 VibeGT about a month ago. Currently, I'm happy with the stock 16" wheels but will be upgrading to 17" in the future. For now, I would like to purchase some spacers that would move my wheel to just about equal with the edge of the fender....maybe just a little inside of it...I was thinking a 1.25 or 1.5" spacer would do what I want. First off, does anyone know of a company that sells spacers like this? I have looked on http://www.eibach.com/, as they do sell spacers, but according to the website, they do not sell them for the Vibe.Second, is there any load problems or anything along those lines that I should worry about?Thank you all!

Here's a link to all cars that they have the spacers for. http://eibach.drivewire.com/Ei....html I haven't called a sales person to investigate, and was hoping someone here had an easy solution before I started that process.

i would think so too. it's just the bolt pattern you really got to worry about, right?

Lazy man no likey!
