Wheel Spacers | The De Tomaso Forums

Guest

For those of you, like me, that are not ready to invest $$ for 15x10 campys, 1" wheel spacers look great and help the 8s fill the rear wheelwells. I got mine from Crow automotive, 310-420-8873(Melinda). I would get 1.125 thickness next time otherwise you will have to mildly grind some spots on the backs of your wheels. 4.5" bolt pattern and metric lugs (m12 1.5). These are 6061 aluminum (aircraft) and seem well made. They are $46 each plus shipping. Good Luck, Carter

SOUNDS GREAT! BUT PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT YOU HAVE INCREASED THE LEVERAGE AND SHEAR STRESS ON THE WHEEL STUDS, EVEN IF YOU HAVE GONE TO LONGER UNITS. BE CAREFUL, ALL THE BEST, MARLIN.

I think the spacers he is refering to actually bolt in place of the wheel and have their own studs that the wheel bolts to.Please correct me if I'm wrong.

That is correct, they bolt to your studs and have their own studs. They might affect your rear alignment though? I probably would take them off to race. Opinions? Thanks, Carter

Hall sells a pair(probably other vendors too) that fit over the studs, but you need to replace the existing studs with longer ones

Will these spacers move the 14" spacer saver spare tire wheel put far enough to clear the Wilwood calipers?
