Spacers On Stock Style 334 Wheels

I have been doing a lot of searching and cant seem to find the answer. Has anyone done spacers on stock 19" Star Spoke Style 334 wheels? If so, what did you use and how did it go? Thanks.

I'd say more vehicle wheel and tire specific, best to just use a short piece of wood that you can measure the spacer size on your vehicle, what may work in one persons vehicle may not work in yours, and rather than spening coin and not getting the look you want if you go too small, you also run the risk of going too big and causing damage. Also remember longer wheel bolts as needed..

Depends. Do you have the extended fender flares or do you plan to add them? If yes, then I'd recommend the H&R DRA series. They bolt to your hub and you use your OEM bolts to mount to the spacer. 25mm is good (per side).

If you don't have flares, you're not going to need much to push past the fenders. Not a good look in my opinion.

I don't have extended flares (would consider them) and do not want to push past the fender. I have the OEM mud flaps and wonder if there is a certain flare that is required with those or if I'm out of luck if I want flares and the mud flaps? Thanks for the info on the H&R spacers.

Don't know for sure as in p/n's but I have seen some mudflaps in my travels around the web that were stated Fender Flares, but not sure where I saw them. Fender flares are very easy, a few threads on each of the forums on them.

I can't tell much from my experience but my Dad has the same wheels on his X5 and spacers flush to the fender.

I'll ask him what sizes he used.

Never mind, I send him an email and he has other 19" wheels but he will check anyway for the spacer sizes he bought.

I've done it last weekend H&R 12/20mm spacers + H&R 1.2" around springs + extended flares. Feels really nice, ride is very comfortable. I will try to put pics little later. And yes this is temporary setup until I get my 22".
