Hey everyone ![/align][/align]First post here... Thought it would be a good place to ask questions lol...[/align][/align]I got my Neon a few months ago and I'd like to add wheel spacers.[/align][/align]Now my question basically is, does anyone know if with 1/2" wheels spacers (12mm) if it's safe to keep the regular lug bolts or would I need to buy a lug kit too ?[/align][/align]Thanks ![/align]

 

id get the bolt kit for that much, why do you need wheel spacers if you dont mind me asking?

 

Well it's a Neon R/T and I find that giving it a larger stance (i.e wheels flush with end of the fenders) would give it a much nicer look very simply.[/align][/align]Should also improve the handling with the new strut tower brace I'm looking into buying too ![/align]

 

honestly bro not to rain on your parade or kill your ambition a imagination on how sick your ride will look but from EXPERIENCE going with wheel spacer is a 50/50 chance of your wheel falling off your adapter,

i had a suv and i bought sum wheels off a guy but he had adapters to fit his truck like mines and i puttin on no more then a week and my spacer lug nuts cracked off cuz of the weight and road wear and tear and my right front wheel came off at 45 mph and i had no control of brakes or car and drove into sum1 living room , so i DUNT RECOMMAND SUCH THING, saftey 1st bro..

 

OUCH ! Sorry to hear that...[/align][/align]Yeah well I guess you have to know what quality you're buying and watch who you buy from...[/align]

 

not just the accident showed me wheel space suxs but my mechanic gave me a lecture on the subject if it aint on daytons dunt use em.. i dunt whatever floats your boat if it looks great and your carefull on maintence them and looking at them everyweek and not tokyo dirfting then your fine jus becarefull bro...

 

or he could just go with wider wheels with a different offset.... that could make it flush with the fenders and give it an even better look if you ask me....

 

True, true... But WAYYYY more expensive lol...[/align][/align]Anyway, thanks for all your answers, I'll be looking into that shortly ![/align]

 

your welcome man anytime !!

 

I guess it would depend on the quality of wheel spacers you get, I have had 1" thick 4 lug VW to 5 lug chevy adapters on the rear of my sand rail for about 8 years with no problems. Believe me they have taken way more abuse than I thought they would even running 36" swampers on the back was no problem. I dont see why if you got a good set they wouldn't outlast the car.
