Spacer...

Post by sxt03 » Sat Oct 25, 2008 8:49 pm

Bought srt rims for my sxt a few days ago, and ive been trying so damn hard to get them to fit im about to give up. I cant find spacers for them anywhere in town, does anybody know where i can find them, or if there is another way to make them fit?

i assume you are wanting to get them to fit with the stock srt profile tires right??? unless you get some srt struts or coilovers they will not work,you need to go with a lower profile tire to get it to fit right.

i'm having a brain fart right now and cannot remember the size of the tire.

i just put 225/40/18 on my neon... it took a little convincing of the strut perches, but i got them to fit without spacers. i put the wheels on and marked the perches at the rubbing point with a white grease pencil. then i banged it a few times with a big hammer :)

worked like a charm!

had the same question awhile back, should answer your question. You can get spacers through auto zone, advance auto, usualy. and i'm pretty sure Modern performance sells them as well. here you go http://www.modernperformance.com/index. ... 2424fd96ff
