Wheel Spacers.
Wheel Spacers.
im thinking about getting 1/4'' or 3mm wheel spacers...but im not sure if it will be a noticabl difference.
does anyone have pics of them on their car?
before and after would be ideal...i've searched but cant find much?

I have 3/8" spacers on the rear of my car. I don't have before shots, but here is my car with the original wheels that may show some difference.
The difference is more noticeable in person. A 1/4" wouldn't be as noticeable however.

If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

3mm spacer, just imagine your wheels 3mm out which is hardly noticeable at all. Have a look at a ruller and you'll see why, it's equal to about an 1/8 inch.

Ok, here is the Dorman part # I used for the rear studs..610-427
And here is a link to a very good catalog to look up any stud you could want...
https://www.dormanproducts.com/catalog/ ... rdware.htm
That is the entire catalog. The wheel stud listings start in section 10, 137-142 and go from there. They have an illustrated guide with all of the critical measurements so you can find just the stud you want without paying an arm and a leg for custom stuff

Did not want to start a new thread since my question is on topic.
I am looking to get a set of wheel spacers on my SRT-4. My R/T has spacers with longer studs and it just looks better. I hate the tucked in tire look. Will spacers affect alignment? I googled and there were mixed answers but 70% said :No it doesn't:
Maybe just do the rear?
Any benefits when running a spacer? Or it strictly for tire clearance/ looks?

I don't think you will have a problem with your alignment afterwards. IIRC, mine did not change.
The only reason to run a spacer on a factory wheel is for looks. The rear is more tucked in than the front, so a thicker spacer is needed if you want to make the wheels look even to the outside. If you are happy with the way the front looks, a single spacer will get the back in line with the front. However much you space the front, the rear will take twice that to be even.

I have 17's with 10mm spacers and it makes the rears look even with the front. I did end up replacing my stock studs for aftermarket so if you get 10 mm you will have to get longer studs.
