So I just picked up a set of SSR Type F Wheels. Great looking and got them for a great price. Now the problem is the off set and width is kinda high so it looks like it will rub on the struts. Wheel Specs 18x9 +60. The current plan of action is to run a 15-20mm spacer for these wheels on the street, and then use my stock BBS wheels for track day duty. What I would like to know is just about spacers in general.
-How will they affect ride quality?
-Will they affect the cars alignment? If so by how much?
-Are they safe to use on the street? If so are they safe for the track? If not why?
-Are there any down sides to using wheel spacers? If so what are they?
-And finally, in my situation (or for any one for that matter who thinks they need spacers) are there any alternatives to running spacers? (besides picking the proper wheel off set for your application :tard
Right now I know jack and shit about wheels, fitment, and all that stuff. I know what off set is, and I know how to read sizes and such. What I don't know is about getting wheels to fit and what are the best methods. I have heard of rolling the fenders, but I had thought this was for very wide application, from what I know is that a 255 will fit fine on the GR with out rolling or pulling the fenders.
Also as an aside. Is it suggestible to swap the TPMS from my stock wheels onto my new ones? I read up the nice write up about but wonder, where they are located and how to swap them.
Thank you all for your time, and sorry for the wall of text
