    Question 1/4" Wheel Spacer Recommendations.

    Looking for a recommendation for 1/4" Wheels Spacer for rears, on OEM Wheels Widened 1.5".

    The Nitto NT05R DRAG 305/45R18 are rubbing, particularly the pass side.
    First time on I had suspicions and took her on a 6 mile trip, at 3 miles I smelled the rubber a burning, , thought I was at the Drag Strip.

    The MT 3786R P305/45R18 ET Street Radials didn't rub.

    Thank you.

    Not trying to be a dick, but what is so difficult about finding a 1/4 piece if aluminum on summit website? bolt pattern and you are there.

    Nothing, I prefer to go with something some one else has used and can verify it's suitable with no issues.

    I missed drag racing this weekend and would like to make it this Friday.

    For the shock, take it off and cut off the housing around the top half. The A-arm is another story completely... never seen one rub there before. I'd be looking closely at all of your rear control arm bushings.

    Well, if nobody speaks up then you will have to make a choice yourself. There is only 10-11 choices on Summit racing for Ford bolt pattern in 1/4 inch thickness. pick a name you are familiar with. they range from $9 to $50 ish bucks

    I'm using the 1/8" spacers from here:

    http://www.maximummotorsports.com/MM...cers-C231.aspx

    I have widened stock wheels to 9.5", currently running 295-45-18 Nitto NT555 street tire. Was previously running the 305 MT Street ET IIs with no rubbing.

    I would guess that the 1/4" spacer is just as quality as the 1/8" one.

    Am using the ¼" version of the spacer (MMWS-2), and have since 2004.

    Back then they were hub centric, made by H&R, and in addition to the quality, the reason(s) I opted for them.

    Also ...

    Eibach offers comparative high quality, hub centric spacers / adapters for less $$$ than H&R.

    Did you also get longer studs?

    At 1/4" for the spacer I don't think I will need them.

    I widened my rims and have 3/8" spacers. I've been driving on them for a couple of years. Just had new drag radials installed and the installer stripped the threads out of the nuts because there weren't enough threads to catch. I'm getting longer lugs.

    With all of the drag racing that you do, you may want to consider it.
