Wheel Spacers for 2nd gen?

[Stevin A]

I looked in this site and found all posts on spacers but all were for Gen1 models only....no Gen2



So is there any spacers out there for 2nd gen STs?



Good or bad?



Will 2nd gen experience hub wearing out quicker if spacer is on the front wheels like Gen 1 version does?



I'm thinking 1.5" spacers....too much or not?



Will it affect the TPMS?

hello? Anybody there?

the bolt patern is the same. Not sure of the hub, if you go hubcentric. TPMS will be ok.

I am curious as why you feel the need for wheel spacers when the Gen 2 ST is already 3 inches wider than the Gen 1 ST?

 

[Stevin A]

Because it looks kinda silly with the tires tucked under the fenders...



I guess I could just wait and get wider tires if that's more feasible option than spacers?

Or... do something like I did. My wheels are the same offset as a Ranger or I believe 1st gen ST's. Stance is close to 3 inches wider than my OEM wheels. 17" x 8 1/2"

It was hard trying to find what I was looking for and the look I wanted. More pics in 'new folder' in my library

Les,



show him you wheels.

You can always go with a wider tire. A number of us went to 275/55/18 which improved the overall look and stance of the Gen2.



Time for me to buy a new set actually.

I have 17 inch rims, not 18 but I guess I could upgrade to 275/55/17....
