Default Spacers

I have 18" OZ SLs same as stock 17 inchers except for the fact that they are 18s.I currently haave no spacers. I was wondering what the pros/cons are of using spacers. What kind should I get, and who is the best manufacturer? Where would i get these?


Thanks!

Default to heavy...and

to heavy,..added strain on stuff...some like them some dont...I would rather get the right set of wheels and not bother with these things...I think ECS has the full HR setup...

Default actually, the spacers are very light...surprisingly light...made from an alloy.

but you're right...just buy the right wheels.

but if you're using the stock OEM 17"...spacers do make it look alot better and more agressive.

Default yeah i think they look great..

but its unsprung mass..increases axis..like a lever and puts more strain on things...plus longer bolts weigh more as well...seems minor..to some people..
