5mm Spacers safe for Track/Autocrossing???
Hello,
I've just received my new wheels and I am currently waiting for my new tires (Federal 595 RS RR 255 square) My wheels are 18x9 ET35 TR Motorsports MT1's and I am a little concerned about the fitment upfront. If need be I was thinking of running a 5mm spacer up front to clean the strut but I am unsure if this would be safe for track use as it takes away 5mm of the hub center that the wheels sit on. There should be 5-6 mm left but that still makes me uneasy. Do any of you guys use 5mm spacers at the track? |

I haven't looked into spacers for a long time but I recall the minimum recommendation was a 12mm spacer because of the hubcentric ring? A 5mm spacer isn't going to have the hub "lip". Examples below:
