So I read in the Corksport blog that you guys went with wheel spacers on the stock Mazda 2 touring wheels as quoted here:
I have 15x6" Miata wheels on my car that are a +40 offset. I believe the stock Mazda 2 wheels are +45 offset.
Are the spacers you purchased available in 20mm?
What exact spacers did you order to have a hub centric design? How do I go about getting my own set?
Will using 20-25mm spacers cause any damage to the wheel studs or wheel bearings?
Are there any negatives (driving dynamics, premature wear of parts, etc.) that I should be aware of if I decide to go with spacers?
I'm looking forward to your input. Thanks!
After some measuring and consulting the H&R catalog we opted for the 25mm wheel spacers. This would put the wheels 25mm further out from the hub which the wheel bolts to. The H&R Trak+ spacers are a hub centric design which means they have the same shape of the wheels and the inside and they carry over the correct shape for the stock wheels to bolt to. This is important to make sure the loads transmitted to the hub from the wheel do not put the load on the wheel studs alone.
