3mm spacers. okay to use?

joehippo · 03-11-2008, 11:50 AM

I've been told that 3mm spacers are so minimal that they shouldnt cause any problems.
But, I've also been told to steer away from the spacers altogether.

Who is correct?

Btw, im putting SI wheels on my '08 DX coupe.

cheers

Should be just fine. I run 3mm up front due to the camber and tire combo. Ive had them for a year of more. I def would not do anything bigger then 3mm on stock setup..
